Try Jennie Doan's Exploding Quilt Block. I posted one I did last month. I just kept exploding it 5x and it ended up about 45" square then I added borders to size I wanted to finish it at. Really easy top to make and FUN! I made 3 tops in 2 hours. Only thing is you lose your points but I'm sure a little girl won't notice!

What does the little girl like - princesses, butterflies, flowers, etc.? I would find a fabric like that make a 9-patch with a plain square, maybe even making the plain square a snowball block. I've made a couple quilts with princess fabric and pink fabric with crowns to go with the princess motif, or ballerinas, but they were well received and by making the quilt with 2 1/2" strips for the 9-patch, then alternating with a 6 1/2" square, a 5 block row across and 7 down makes a good sized lap quilt with the addition of a narrow border and then a 5-6" border.

Oh my, I have just finished a pink and purple quilt for a dear friend's daughter. It is called "A Walk in the Park". It was a free pattern from Craftsy.
I have just added pics to my album on Quilting Board - two girl quilts in pink/purple. So take a look and let me know if you need help with pattern/dimensions etc.

I had the same problem at Christmas. Ended up a friend made a double "I Spy" for her and she loved it!
Now I am down to the last gr. daughter. Found some panels I am going to use for hers. Time just doesn't seem to be available this year.
You can get panels on line, Wa-Mar, ect. I got some at E-Bay.
Good luck!!'
