I had the same request a couple years ago, a pastel shabby chic baby quilt. When I heard "shabby chic", the first thing that came to mind is the line of bedding that Target carries. Not having any fabric that looked similar, I came up with my own idea. I dug through my scrap bins for pastels, cut them into strips and squares and puzzle pieced 12" blocks so no two are alike. I just happened to find a Shabby Chic crib sheet from Target at Goodwill and cut it up for the sashing and back of the quilt. Here's how it turned out:

The pic is brighter than the actual quilt, it really is pastel fabrics.
