Need some ideas

I second the bargello idea. Or you could do a Trip Around the World. Eleanor Burns has a great video on YouTube (called Quick Trip I think) showing how to do it. You could use the same strip sets to make a bargello.

What size are you aiming for? For high school graduation you might want a quilt that she can use on a dorm bed at college. Most of those are twin XL, and a bricks, bargello, or AVFD's design would be easier to stretch in length than a larger block size.

Put the two together with 9 batiks (8 in the star and one background) and you have my daughter's birthday quilt. You can use many fewer fabrics. I have one cut out with only two colors and a background. I rarely purchase patterns, so I hope this helps.
