Girly girl baby quilt
My niece is expecting a girl I would like to make her a really girly girl quilt. I need a suggestion. I don't like applique but could do a little bit if I have to. I love to paper piece. Nothing too simple. Any good ideas?

This is one of my favorites... right from the Quilting Board. The pinwheels are 3-D. You can make this as girly as you like, with the right fabric choices.

There is a beautiful quilt with big flowers made with grandmother garden round and then curved corners. It's just right for a baby girl. It was in pictures about a month age. I didn't bookmark sorry.

The prettiest girl baby quilt I've made so far was 3 taupe fabrics, 3 gray fabrics, 3 white on white fabrics and 3 pink fabrics for the pinwheels and the background was a small taupe, gray and white floral spray on a cream background. It was just stunning.
I only make pinwheel baby quilts. They're fast, easy and no two have ever been alike. I never use "baby" fabrics because kids tend to start rejecting things as "too baby" when they hit 2.5 to 3. Girls are especially bad about that.

I would totally go for cotton eyelet ruffles at the binding, and or scallops.Here are a few images I've scarfed up and put in my ideas file, and my first quilt, which was for a girl, and done from all sorts of lovely feely-fabric.[ATTACH=CONFIG]437873[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]437874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]437876[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]437877[/ATTACH]
the aqua one is for a boy but it could be done in girly colors.
Have fun!

I made the McKinley quilt using a girly charm pack. Easy but cute.
