finally going to make a girly quilt for a special baby girl. Not a baby quilt but one she can use forever. Mom loves purple and the babys name is Flora so am looking for suggestions of a line of fabrics that contains floral and purples all shades. I looked at amy butler but was looking for something softer.

I recently went to http://www. ThousandsofBolts.com and searched for pinks and purples...it takes time, but the prices are great

There has been a great range of purple pansies here in recent months, but I'm sorry, I don't know the manufacterer. They were in three sizes, the smallest were about half an inch across.

Violetta from Debbie Beaves (RJR fabrics) is beautiful.

RJR has a couple lines out -- Shasta Daisy is a little funky, and Violet Wishes is very feminine.

Moda has a line called Nature's Notebook which is also very nice.

Take a look at Connecting Threads and the Marie Antoinette ones.
