Most major shops such as Fat Quarter Shop, Hancocks of Paducah etc., all have options for searching by color. Are you making a specific jelly roll pattern? It might be easier to find what you want by buying Fat Quarters and cutting accordingly.

Since you are looking for particular girly fabric, I would suggest that you buy yardage in multi fabrics. If you go in person to places like Joann's fabric, you could buy 1/4 yard pieces. Whereas you buy on line, most require 1/2 to 1 yard or more cuts.
It's easy enough to cut the yardage into 2.5" strips
I think it is going to be really hard to find fabric in jelly rolls in the type of design you want and the two colors, without having a lot of pieces you don't want to use in the roll.

Don't forget to check out Jordan Fabrics. So many options for jelly rolls and so little time. Missouri Start, Jordan, Fat Quarter Shop and all the others mentioned above. Local quilt shops of course. Fields Fabrics is a local to me, but they also have a good online service too. Happy hunting and shopping.

I suggest you buy fabric and cut your own, perhaps the person you're making the quilt for can go shopping with you. I'm not a fan of the precut jelly rolls, they have pinked edges and they are so messy, lint gets all over everything.
