You can mix in the girly theme and the Lightning McQueen and other stuff. You could do an "I spy" quilt with all of it mixed in. I threw "Mater" and "Curious George" on a quilt b/c my son likes both of them. He uses it every day at preschool and loves it. His quilt is not an award winner but definitely fun and he loves it.

An I Spy is a quilt with many squares fussy cut to show the design. Here's two that I have made for the grandkids. You can use whatever size block in whatever layout that suits you.

6 square in corner and 12 3 squares to finish the 12 block

6 square in the middle and the 3 1/2 squares around to make a 12 block

I would make it using the style/characters she likes now rather than hoping she will change to prefer the Princess stuff. It would be like someone giving you a quilt in a color they know you don't prefer hoping you will grow to like it. She's only 3 but you should honor her preferences (my humble opinion).

If she changes, it's a good excuse to make another.
