    There is a ribbon quilt that has been posted recently that I really like and think would lend itself to your fabrics. And yesterday there was Bows and Giggles that looks to be an easy one but very cute.

    I saw this yesterday, and loved it. However, I wonder how that ric rac will look coming out of the washer and dryer. Has anybody done this?

    White would be a good background fabric or, if you can find the match, I think the green would look great. I would look at the 'basic' designs such as the chevron or a french braid or even a split rail. These designs would really let the fabrics shine.

    If you look in the advance search under Chevron toddler vintage, I shared a pic of a quilt using repro looking fabrics with white, might give you a sneak peek at something similar.
    Probably my favorite quilt to date.

    I have found Chevrons are popular with new moms.

    I think the cheese and crackers pattern from terry Atkinson designs would be lovely in theses fabrics.

    What a shame, so many of the places where we used to shop for fabric have gone out of business. I used to love to shop at a local Ben Franklin's store, where I could find anything from clothes pins to craft items, they usually always had just what I needed, then there was the fabric. I'm afraid I spent a lot of money then, but I was working and had the funds. I'm still using a lot of the fabric I bought, although I've used up a lot of it. The best thing though was the helpful people who worked there. Those fabrics are yummy and I agree would make a great Chevron baby quilt.

    A white on white might be nice.
