Bright colors are nice, but I think you should ask your daughter what color she would like in a quilt if you ever made one for her. Then take it from there, use a color wheel or just look on the internet for samples of colors, quilting catalogs are a good source for color value. Have fun on your trip. I just finished a full size quilt, with matching pillow shams and a window valance, in pinks, white, lavenders and purples for my grandaughter. Am about to quilt one for my grandson, neon green/ black. This colors were their choice.
