For those interested in the Riley Blake fabrics, I got them on Amazon but I see they're also on Ebay. I got the 15 FQ set and it was about $45. It's called My Mind's Eye by Andrea Victoria for Riley Blake.

Have you thought about using Lime green? I made a baby quilt awhile back using pink, rose and lime green and it was really pretty.

I have as I know they like that color. I am not sure what the two other quilts would be then though.

You could usr the same pattern with different colors and then applique a different animal on each.

My thought was to go and just look at what's available. Then pick something you just love and get other fabrics to go with it. Say a beautiful floral and then the colors that blend. Make each with the floral but different blends. Such as

then make one in gold, one in pink and one in lavender.

My grandaughters are going to be 14 in Sept and when they were born I didn, t know a thing about quilting but a number of years ago I discovered quilting and of course since then they have each developed colour favorites.They all have red hair but that doesn, t seem to affect their likes although one of the 3 has now decided that she is not in favor of her red hair..remember that what one does not think of the other two will !

I think aqua pink and white are pretty together.

And white to tie them all together with the pink and purple.

And put their name in small print on it. Also talk with your daughter about coming up with a symbol for each girl to tie in with each quilt, Star, heart, flower like in the quilts. The symbols can identify things before they can read their names.

I would lean towards the same pattern, but in different colors, besides purple and pink, how about soft yellows or aqua, or maybe a raspberry, I would think any soft color, or go the opposite and make them very bright and colorful. I'm probably not helping, but the possibilities are endless. Congratulations to DD, she's going to be a very busy Mom this summer, and congratulations to you as well, 3 grandkids all at once.
