After consulting with her mom, we decided maybe something with cats or something beachy would be good. I looked at cat fabric and cat patterns, but nothing grabbed me. ( If you know an awesome cat pattern, let me know). When I was in an LQS last week, I saw 'Seaside' by Timeless Treasures.
I love the color (sapphire), and the prints are beachy, and cute without being cutesy. A few years ago I made this red and white quilt for my MIL.
The cover quilt is 'Making History' by Swirly Girls. The red and white quilt I made turned out great, and I think the blue fabric I bought will be just as pretty. All of which is a long winded way of saying I bought enough fabric to make a queen sized quilt.
If I come up with something I like better for Amanda, my husband has already said he wants a 'Making History' quilt. I don't normally make a pattern more than once, but this one is a keeper, I think.

The beach fabric is perfect. Who wouldn't love receiving a blue and white quilt - they are classic.
I agree. The beach fabric is lovely and the recipient would adore it. ~Melanie
The beach fabric is great. If you want some fun cat blocks to make into a quilt, check out this post http://vickisvintagestitches.blogspot.com/2014/01/treadle-on-cat-block-exchange.html One of my vintage sewing machine groups just did a cat block exchange, and these are the blocks they used.
