Default Oh My Gosh!!!

I came across this fabric, Meadow Friends, looking at the cyber Monday sales and it's perfect!!! I can re-create some of the flowers in the fabric for the center panels. I'll get some in the white for Sophia and the blue for Kylee. Should probably get enough to make some matching pillow cases too! I have lots of Moda Marbles in just about EVERY color so I can put in some accents of the yellows and oranges too.

Please post pics when you are done, whatever you chose!!
I was going to suggest Pinwheels also. I just did a charity quilt with pink, blue, and lavender pinwheels and alternated the pinwheel blocks with plain white blocks. I think it came out cute and went together very quickly. I think there is a picture of it in my album. Click on my name above my avatar and you can choose my profile, then my album.

I agree with SharonB - a disappearing 9 patch might work.

I have made several childrens quilt. I have a six year old grandaughter who is helping me make her quilt. She chose red and black. We are doing the Quick Trip by Quilt in a day.

Brouse in here: http://www.youtube.com/missouriquiltco. They have lots of ideas with jelly rolls - all very cute and, apparently, very easy.

That Meadow fabric is beautiful. You could do simple Moda faabric checkerboards or even just borders around them. Or pinwheels and borders, though pinwheels might be a bit busy. have you seen the simple way to churn out pinwheels on the Missouri Tutorials? Sew 2 squares RST, then cut them diagonally, the assemble a pinwheel. Fast, fast, fast. Yes, you wind up with bias on the outside, but it's not a problem if you starch the fabric heavily before sewing.

Nice to see you back on the board!

Oh I love those colors and the fabric you chose to add! I second just about any idea tossed about already. Have used several of the missouri star tutorials and can attest they are a cinch!
