    If you could find some fabric w/ "girl" things in it, such as dolls, little girls, animals, that might be cute in red,white and/or blue for a girl.

    She may not arrive on July 4th! Unless they are having a C section, of course.

    If you can use some vintage-looking red with hearts or bows, or white shirting fabric with delicate flowers in red or blue, that would be cute.
    Here is a quilt top I made earlier this year for some ideas on the fabrics.

    My son was also due on July 4th. When he was 2 weeks late, I was induced.

    Would you still want to give a red, white and blue quilt if her birthday was July 18th?

    Jennie Penny's quilt is really nice, feminine.
    But you will find many examples among these images: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...mg.f5BxM1UjYDw

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I might go with light RW &B and make something simple then overlay it with big flowers, ric-rac or something like that.
    I apologize about replying so late. It took me quite a while to figure out how to find the post I had done!
