If you could find some fabric w/ "girl" things in it, such as dolls, little girls, animals, that might be cute in red,white and/or blue for a girl.

She may not arrive on July 4th! Unless they are having a C section, of course.

If you can use some vintage-looking red with hearts or bows, or white shirting fabric with delicate flowers in red or blue, that would be cute.
Here is a quilt top I made earlier this year for some ideas on the fabrics.

Wonderful suggestions here! Like the rick rack, scallops and flower suggestions!

My son was also due on July 4th. When he was 2 weeks late, I was induced.

Would you still want to give a red, white and blue quilt if her birthday was July 18th?

Jennie Penny's quilt is really nice, feminine.
But you will find many examples among these images: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...mg.f5BxM1UjYDw

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I might go with light RW &B and make something simple then overlay it with big flowers, ric-rac or something like that.
I apologize about replying so late. It took me quite a while to figure out how to find the post I had done!
