Default bridesmaid baby quilt

I was commissioned to do a bridesmaid baby quilt after somebody saw the idea on pinterest. The baby's nursery is being done in a brown giraffe print with baby blue zebra print accents. The dress is black.

A chevron quilt has been requested. I found some really cute giraffe fabric but am stuck on how to tie in the blue zebra. Any ideas? Initially I was thinking about doing the chevron blocks in the giraffe, black dress material and breaking them up with a solid white beween them with the binding and maybe doing the back in a baby blue solid. Any ideas?

I haven't seen the baby's room so I have no idea how it's even supposed to look. I'm having a hard time imagining the giraffe and zebra print mixed together.

Thanks for any ideas!

You could get regular black and white zebra and color the white part blue if you can't find blue zebra print. How about a black whole cloth quilt with appliqued giraffes and blue zebras on it?

Seems to me I've seen zebra print fabric in many colors recently, I can't remember where. I did a Google search for zebra print fabric. https://www.google.com/search?q=zebr...cs%3B350%3B350

And can someone explain what a "bridesmaid baby quilt" is? I'm very confused!
