If you need to buy yardage, find a two color pattern and use light and dark pink. Swap the light/dark for the second quilt so you'll have two the same pattern and fabric, but very different looks.

Is she asking for completely pink? Or pink(s) with a neutral? Here is a link to a search for pink baby quilt on pinterest. There are some that are both pretty and not too difficult. So soft for a little girl! https://www.pinterest.com/search/pin...yped&term_meta[]=pink%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=baby%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=quilt%7Ctyped

Pink quilts can be a lot of fun. I've made at least three over the years. The one I like best was made with one line of fabric - fabric selection is done for you - in a simple 9 patch alternating with a solid block. (Single Irish Chain) - MY recommendation is look at the pink fabric lines, choose two you love and go for it. ( I've attached a photo but heaven only knows if it'll post. I've not posted here in a coon's age and am not sure I remember how it's done!)
Seems to work. Here is a photo of my older granddaughter's pink quilt. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/440156563550839304/

IMO, it can have other colors and still read as pink. This is MSQC Falling Charms in a multi colored charm pack and a pink background. Falling Charms for a baby girl

There are soooo many pink variations of color - pastel, peachy, purplish, bright, dark, etc. I think you could find a pattern with 2 or 3 colors of pink.
some ideas: https://www.google.com/search?http://q=pink+baby+quilts&safe=activ...CAYQBA#imgrc=_

I've always liked this quilt, you could use an assortment of pink fabrics and reverse the color scheme, so it's mostly pink with some white.

Some benefits to this pattern are: It's simple and easy (read "quick"
) you don't have to worry about bias, and if you make it the way the tutorial has it, with a mostly white background, you don't have to worry about matching points and corners.

Pink Baby quilts for twins
[QUOTE=janice1120;8215916]My hairdresser has asked me to make 2 pink quilts (for twins) for a co-worker. Definitely pink, same pattern, different fabric, but pink.
You could do SuzyQuilts Campfire quilt with the pinks reversed or same pink with a wh/color small dot pattern and then bind them with the main pink fabric. This pattern makes a beautiful baby quilt and is so easy for complementary twin quilts!
