Who would have thought baby girl fabric was so difficult
Needed to make a couple baby quilts - simple pattern using 12 fat quarters. My LQS has so little baby fabric, so got a few suggestions from the board on where to look.
Bought CelebrationG-FQB-900.jpg and proceeded to start assembly. Love the look but didn't think to look for coordinating fabric for borders/binding. Now I find they don't make any.
Looking like it's gonna be one white border and one color
Lesson learned- choose it all at one time.

I had a similar problem with my tumbler quilt. I took my almost completed top in to a fabric store and the owner and her mother helped me pick out a solid red that went with the red in some of the blocks. Solid colors are impossible to match up on the computer/internet. You need to lay the fabric together.
Those fabrics are gorgeous! I bet a solid pink and/or yellow would work really well.
And I think I remember seeing pink zebra minkee somewhere which would be perfect for backing fabric - so soft and cuddly.

I was caught unaware by this before. I purchased charm squares and put together the quilt but then realized that the matching yardage wasn't in stores yet. Moda apparently releases pre-cuts in advance of the accompanying yardage. If you can be patient, it looks like it should be out next month. Check the Moda fabric page.

Rarely do I ever use a collection of fabrics although I think they look lovely together as they are meant to.
Just make your top and do as Mama up North suggested, take your top to the fabric store and pick a border, something like a novelty print for little girls that uses the colors in the top. I think that would give it some interest and make the quilt all your own.
