I saw the most precious quilt in a book the other day for a baby girl. It's for beginners and all you do is pick out various pink flowers/gingham/checked/polka dot fabrics that match. Cut them into 6 inch squares and sew together. It had a small ruffle around the edge and it was darling. I would like that as a lap quilt for myself. I think you could possibly buy a few charm squares packages that are 5" and do a great job .
