Need a good pattern idea...
I'm about to begin working on a quilt for my soon to be 8 year old niece. She has requested quite a variety of 'themes' to her quilt. We have kitties, puppies, peace signs, hearts, butterflies, dragonflies, cupcakes, soccer balls, and cheerleading. Whew! I have all my fabrics, and they are all generally hot pinks, purples, blues, greens, and yellows. Almost all are very bright fabrics. I would post a pic but the fabrics are at my aunts house currently.
I need a pattern that will not look too overwhelming with all the bright colored fabrics and one that she will be able to really see each fabric. It doesn't have to be an heirloom type pattern as this is just a quilt for her to drag around and use until she outgrows it. I also need it to be rather simple as I'm only a beginning quilter. I am thinking I'll make it about a twin size, however, I have bought about 8 yards of fabric (not including the backing) so I may be able to make it much larger. Thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks, all! I'm going to check out these patterns and see what I think will work best. I also really like the idea of doing sashing between blocks. I think that'll help tone down all the craziness in the fabrics.
