I disagree with letting sister dictate every aspect of it! That's a gift, but it's not the gift of a baby blanket; it's the gift of X hours of your knitting time, i.e. a custom order.
I do, however, think it would be a great idea to ask what her chosen nursery colours are. Nothing more specific than that! That way SHE doesn't know what you're making, and YOU don't have to be bound to a particular design. (If she's doing the nursery in a colour you can't match, you can easily pick a neutral that will blend in harmoniously, and she'll never know or be disappointed that you couldn't do the precise thing she was envisioning.)
