I have a small problem. My DN is getting married in June. I'm going to make her a quilt. Now here is the problem. Her favorite color is pink. I mean she loves pink. But he doses not. At first I was thinking a black and white quilt. But I do not have enough of each. So I was thinking of The Quilt in a Day Triple Irish Chain ; and the basic color white and the chain scrapy.

I have made a ton of wedding quilts these last couple of years. (my 3 daughters and a lot of their friends have all gotten married)
I usually go to their registry and find the colors they have chosen for their home. A couple of them I asked their parents what their favorite colors were. So far, everyone has loved the quilts that I have made.
My daughters have not gotten their quilts yet. Those will be queen size (I give large lab/twin quilts as gifts) and they are picking out the main fabrics and the pattern (with guidance)The first two have their picked out and fabrics set aside. I just need to enlarge both of the patterns because, of course, the patterns were not queen size (sigh)

it doesn't have to be light pink. you could add a dark rose. all shades of "pink" she would probably love.

your scrapy idea sounds good - it should go with any decor & I'm assuming that there will be a tad of pink included.
