Love those fabrics. I'd have been in trouble had I been with you! You have lots of pattern suggestions. The only thing I'd add is that it seems that the modern quilts I've been looking at lately have lots of white in the background and bright, really loud color in the blocks. Of course, I may have been limiting myself somewhat or focusing on what I thought I saw. I can't imagine that she would not like your selection or the quilt. The fabrics are so pretty and coordinated (and in her favorite colors) that they'd look great in any pattern! Good luck!

What about something different like this pattern:
It's called Birchtree lane. It's simple yet contemporary.

This week or last I saw a pattern for a "Picnic Quilt Fit for a Princess" on Sewmamasew.com. It would look wonderful in your fabrics, and I think it looks much more complicated than the directions (there is a tutorial at the site I mentioned) indicate. Good luck - and please share what you decide on!

If I did this one I was wondering if I couldn't do the center box like in purple. Then the boxes around it in green. Then the boxes around that it purple...you get the idea. Just trying to brainstorm all the possibilities! This is the part that takes so long! lol![/quote]
I think your idea would work but I would suggest to draw it out and color it in first so you don't loose track.
