Here's an idea that you could use "as is" or tweak to fit what you or your daughter want in the end.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...a-t148587.htmlThere is a great pattern called "Focus Pocus" by Swirly girls (I think) - it has a great large blocks and it looks pretty easy to put together. Here is a previous post

BQ or BQ2. Exactly what I was thinking....

That was my first thought also.

I love ove that pattern too. It's on my list ,

Maureen, love Focus Pocus! You ladies have given me so many ideas. I am going to have my daughter review your suggestions. Will post a picture of the finished quilt top. Thanks again for all who responded. You ladies are the best!

Have you seen the panel for daughters? It has about 10 sayings on it and they can be cut apart and used as squares for on the back. Sweet sayings & inspirational sayings.

How about "Around the corner"?

"Just Can't Cut It" by All Washed Up would be perfect if you have enough fabric for the size you want to make. The focus fabric is a 12.5" square, and the five other fabrics make up the other block. It is very simple, but I love the pattern. Great use with your focus fabric and coordinating fabrics.
