Why not just make a 'scrappy' quilt. Use whats in your stash, these quilts are the most colorful and will coordinate with anything else she puts in the room, not only know but later too.
If you don't have enough in your stash, just buy 1/2 yard of assorted colors and small prints. Use a cream color as the background for your blocks, white is too bright for a scrappy quilt. These quilts get a lot of abuse so I wouldn't use light
colors, or expensive fabrics, this is why using your stash works great. :thumbup:

Absolutely the best way to go is her favorite colors. I would hate a quilt with pink and yellow together and would probably put it in a closet. She has preferences too so ask her. She will love a quilt with "her" colors.

That is a hard question to answer as I love all colors. How ever I am currently planning on a quilt in red, white and black combo. Jeanniebelle

I couldn't agree more! My favorite quilts of all time are the ones Kaffe Fassett makes. And of course his fabrics are wonderful. Take a look at them, and pick your colors from there. You can't go wrong.

I am embroidering a quilt for my GD, she has 2 years yet before she goes, but the 18" blocks are nearly solid cross stitch. I`m at it a yr. already. Each block has a picture of something to remind her of home. A house.Friends, love etc..... these are sewn in bright color, like hot pink, bright blue etc. then the back ground is all Black! Now I`m taking a pole if I should set it out in Hot pink or black? Bright blue can not be matched. So far 2- to- 1 go for black.

Have your daughter pick out a focus fabric then choose coordinating fabrics to go with it. Since it is a quilt for her.
