We all have different ways of working - fabrics first or pattern first. I tend to buy fabrics that I like (and that are on sale!), then when I find a pattern I shop from my stash. Other people buy the pattern and then shop for fabrics. (The only time I shop for the fabric after I have a pattern in mind is for a OBW.) Do whatever works for you. Of course when you're just starting out, it may be easier to decide on the pattern first, and then get fabric for it. In any case, you have a lot of suggestions for the fabrics your daughter picked out, and that print ties them together nicely.
