Just use these fabrics for the back. lol. Sorry but thats all I got.
|
I would use the first two fabrics as the back, and a something pink and girly on the front, then use the left over first fabrics as backing on some burp cloths, bibs, and maybe a diaper tote? Just my musings of course. Please post what ever you decide?

I am so shocked by the idea that the fabric isn't girlie simply because it is a sports team, and the nasty/negative way that is stated by some folks in this thread. I love the Pittsburgh Penguins and I would love to have a baby quilt made with it. The things I make for myself related to the team have a lot of the gold and white. Tossing in some grey is a great idea as well. I would use the sport fabric for the backing of the quilt and do a nice "pattern of choice" for the top.

Glad you asked for help- I'm a bit stumped too |
Since you are making a rag quilt, maybe you could use pink or yellow flannel instead of batting,then the color would be subtle. I think, once you begin, wonderful ideas will come to you and you'll know that you're doing the right thing.

How about just sewing them together (in any way you choose: leave both pieces solid. Cut into squares and do a checkerboard. Whatever.) And then sew a wide satin ruffle binding around it. A soft gold or white? My granddaughter had a blanket that she loved with a fat black satin ruffle. That is one treatment I would not do for a boy... Maybe that would make it girly enough. Then make her a beautiful soft pinky rose quilt! My personal fav. I think all baby girls need a blanket with tiny rosebuds!
|
I think I would ask if it was essential to use that fabric. Maybe you could use it as an exchange and find something more "girly" appropriate?
|
I say maybe due a chevron pattern in this quilt with the second fabric as backing and the front as one of the main fabircs I would also suggest maybe looking online for more penguin fabric that is maybe a little more girly to add to it.
|
I'm sure you can find some fabrics with pink, tan, black and white stripes....that would give you the ability to add other solid pink to it. Maybe a patchwork heart block? Here's one I found as a sample (not my photo) https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...acbb2000d5.jpg
