One of my biggest hits was a soft edged Sunbonnet Sue. (Girls would rather the raw edge apparently, it's cooler) BUT, and most importantly I put things in her hand like an iPod,a sheet of music, a teddy bear, had her wearing her school colors,etc. The updated items are done basically with muslin and a superfine permanent marker, fussy cuts from other fabrics etc. Quick & easy and now treasured

I teach this age group every year and would say: Pick an easy pattern (or pick several and then let her choose her favorite) and go with girly brights----orange, pink, turquoise, lime, lemon, etc. and I don't think you can go wrong! You might want to check and see if she'd like a school colors quilt---then do something easy and fun with those colors.

Have you considered taking her with you to a fabric store and having her show you her favorite colors. Then you could also let her show you a pattern that appeals to her. My granddaughter went with me and we did this together. She has a quilt in her colors and the pattern she chose.

I made a butterfly quilt with batik butterflys 12 inch blocks with a simple sashing. They were appliqued useing fusible web and stitched with a blanket stitch. The top was completed in a day. Used bright colors and each butterfly was a different print and color.
Here is a picture of it. It was fast and simple.

What about the 11 minute flower one of the ladies posted a couple of days ago. It's easy, and hip especially if it was done in fun fabrics. My daughter would have loved this quilt at 12 yrs.

Oh yes, take her shopping with you. Never assume you know what she will like....my girls always surprised me with their choices.
