Need help choosing pattern
#14
A Turning Twenty pattern would look really nice. Then there are the twister patterns. Depending on how much of the butterfly fabric you have, you could use that for your twisters and the other colors at the background. I just got a new quilt book called Fast and Fun First Quilts 18 projects for Instant Gratificaion by Sara Diepersloot. In there the patterns Cupcake Delight or Summer Camp would be PERFECT!!! You could also do solid squares of the butterfly fabric and then a star block using the other colors and alternate them with a solid color sashing and alternate color corner stone for each block.

I have two old kits that I think would make up really nicely in your fabrics if you can find pictures - One is Michael Miller's Garden Princess and the other is also Michael Miller, Tea Time in Tokyo. They make good use of a large piece of focal fabric. Good luck, shyleigh

Thanks for all the great ides! I am leaning toward doing the 10 minute block with the 2 butterfly corners, a blue corner and a purple corner. I will use the yellow and orange for the centers. I think this will show enough of the butterflys AND her favorite colors.

The butterflies are big..if I use them as the little center squares they will be lost. I think I will do an inner border of purple and an outer border, binding and backing in black!
