Default vintage fabrics

Hi Ladies
I'm going to give a quilt for DD a go and have been cutting into my fabric stash but she's quite keen to have some vintage fabrics in there too.
I'm hoping some of you can help me with this, does anyone have any small pieces of girly vintage fabric that they have no use for? Obviously i'm willing to pay, swap or send you a little gift as a thank you. I was thinking maybe bold 70s floral, candy stripes even something like holly hobbie or strawberry shortcake (her favourite when she was younger). She's probably thinking something totally different lol.
I'm hoping it will be a success and will be something she'll treasure forever.
Hope you don't mind me asking

Hiya Beki,
I have these two vintage pillowcase fabrics below (not the white thing!):

and I also have another pink 70s floral pillowcase - similar to the blue one you could have? Not sure if thats the sort of thing your looking for? x

EDIT: They look really rubbish in this photo but they are nice!


(slightly better pics)

I've cut up 12x12 squares but also want to do some patchwork squares with 4 squares (if you get what I mean) so they would be 6x6, hope that makes sense
