I really like the Arkansas Crossroads block for this type of quilt. With various color choices, it can be so different, and never looks "too sweet" unless you want it to!

Another idea is the Disappearing 4-Patch. It's great alternated with solid blocks to make it less busy. Like this one:

Thank you all so so much for all the fantastic ideas!!! Now I need to choose! I think I'm going to try not to think about it for a few days and then browse my LQS with all your ideas in mind. Thank you all again!!!

It is in bright colours with a really cute sides with grass and 2 cats. The main part of the quilt Is white with bright lollipops, butterflies and flowers. Put the title in the search box and be prepare to be wowed.

I made a bed-size twin quilt for my DGD when she was 5. It is too big and heavy for her to handle so she rarely uses it - prefers her lightweight cheapo "Princess" coverlet. I can't help with colors, but I do suggest you make this one more of a throw size if you want her to use it.

PS, QuiltnNan, I love your watercolor!
