Could we have a picture of the fabric? Is it a single shade of each fabric or many varied shades?

Edited to add: How old is the niece and what are her interests? Can you add other colors to the ones you have listed or is that it?

I haven't bought the fabric. Looking for a pattern to buy for that. My niece is 24, recently married and these are the colors in her bedroom. They are moving to Alaska!

So you are wanting a pattern with just 3 fabrics? If so, a rail fence might look good? Or a carpenter's star? Could you get two shades of each color or maybe more. That might be fun. Just Take Five uses 5 fabrics....maybe one cream and two each of eggplant and apple green?

Lots of fun ideas will come to you, I am sure. Have fun with it.

Good ideas! I'm drawing a complete blank on what to do. Maybe once I go in the quilt shop inspiration will hit. ��

A Dissappearing Hourglass done with batiks in those colours would be nice. You coukd buy a variety of dark fat quarters and tie them all together with the cream batik for the background. Use the search bar to see all the pictures posted on QB.

Do you have a "bucket List" of quilts you always wanted to make and haven't tried yet? Pick one of those and enjoy

It really depends on your ability. Warm Wish can make a stunning quilt. I usually change the focus fabric and cut it as 8.5" square. It is easy to put together. Good Luck!
