What would you do?
I've been asked to make a quilt for an expected Granddaughter. The Grandparents gave me this material with the instructions to 'make it girly'. I thought about using pink and black flannel to make a rag quilt...but that's too easy. Any ideas? What pattern would you use?

Okay that is going to be a challenge to make girly. The penguin fabric should be kept big enough so you can see the images. If it was for a boy you could add the tan and grey blue. Not sure how pink would go with these fabrics.

My first thought is to find some light blue lace and place it here and there. It is light blue, right? Gray? How about some white eyelet, here and there? White swirly fleece for the back?
Add some lace to any border you might use. There's always loads of 1-2 even 4 flat laces available.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, just thought, I've purchased some very feminine white on white snowflakes this season. Maybe a girly tonal for sashes or borders or blocks or binding?

I have never attempted applique before, so that's not an option for now. The Grandmother bought the fabric in Pittsburg. Not sure what I'm going to do yet, but pink definitely doesn't work here.
