    She's hysterical, and so sweet! Have fun making the quilt of her dreams. Don't you love it when they REQUEST a quilt of you? You know they appreciate your quilts when that happens.

    Ok! How about Soccer balls and spools and Dresden plates. Maybe fans or hst. More of a simpler nature. Maybe do an illusion with pink and purple scraps with pink and purple sashings and borders.

    Well I'm going fabric shopping next week so I'm sure I can find something that will work. I saw some pink soccer print that I want to use, then add some purple to the mix. I just thought it was funny how she asked for it. She was so serious and made sure that I know that "girly" is out. I sure am glad that she has a baby sister that I can still sew "girly" for. LOL Funny that camo was mentioned because she loves camo. I recently made her younger brother a backpack out of some left over camo from a jacket I made her mother last Christmas. She loves it and wants one of her own in purple camo, which is already on the list for Christmas this year.

    Grandmas can do anything. You will find something and she will just love it. Keep us posted.

    I agree, we Grandmas can do anything. You will find just the right combination of soccer balls, pink and purple and she will be thrilled. My grands always think I can "whip it up" in a minute! Haha. Don't forget to post a picture when done.

    That is kind of funny - I'm sitting here smiling -

    Now that she's told you what she does NOT want on it - maybe you can get a list of things from her that she would consider acceptable?

    Awwwww I have a granddaughter who was the same way,and I had the honor of making her a red and gold softball themed quilt. Red and gold are her high school colors, and she is a outstanding pitcher. Best of luck!!
