The main reason that I'm rethinking things is because Caroline is so in love with purple. It just seems wrong to not have some purple in her room. I have tried to come up with a way to make purple go with the quilt top that I've already made, but I can't figure out anything that would work well. So, I'm thinking about making one that has some purple. Here are a couple ideas (I included the pink on so you can see more of what the first purple one looks like).
After giving it plenty of thought, I decided that maybe it would be good to not be stuck only on purple...in case she finds a new favorite color. So I thought that something rainbow like the ones below might be a better choice.
So what do all of you think? Help! I need some input here to help me figure things out.

I love the first one that you have made. I really like the idea of stripes. That way as she grows older and changes her tastes she would have options. I liked the stripe pillow. It looked like it wasn't all solid colors but had different patterned colors. That is a neat idea.
I pretty much agree with jennjenn all the way. I don't know if you're planning on keeping the 1st quilt, but I love the pattern so much -- what about using your pattern idea with a different pallette whether it's purple tones or multi color. Of the purple quilts, my fav was the 1st. Of the primary colors - the idea of mixing the solids & patterns is great. One thing to consider is the accessories for the room. You'll be able to find a lot of things in primary pallette, but they may not be particularly *girly*. So, you might be able to find boxes, bins, clocks, etc. but perhaps not flowers, wall art, etc. I vote for going purple -- cater to her favorite color now. Think about her next favorite color when/if it comes.
oh, and just like the 1st quilt, when I say "purple" quilt, I love the idea of including different tones of purple as well as a complementary tones (greens or yellows).
