Thank you all for you ideas! If I could just find that darn inspiration fabric, it would be a great jumping off spot.

I made McCalls free pattern "Frosted Candy" for my gd and she loved it. It's a very easy pattern. I only hope I have done this correctly. http://www.mccallsquilting.com/patte...html?idx=12827

What about this one?

what about a flip flop and flowers .....after all you are in florida ...you could throw in a butterfly

I've seen a beautiful butterfly fabric that has a lavender background and butterflies. Don't remember where I saw it though, but if you google butterfly fabric you will likely find all kinds of wonderful ones.

Here is a quilt I made for a little girl using butterflies, I got the fabric at JoAnns.[ATTACH=CONFIG]412347[/ATTACH]

An easy way to feature pretty fabric is D9P, putting the focus fabrics in the corners of the original and using solids or blenders for the "spokes" and centers.
