Blush quilt top for a baby girl on the way

** a couple edits here, folks.
1. NO, I am not pregnant.
2. Blush yardage is on sale today at piece n' quilt! **

Here's the layout for my quilt top. I need to go to the LQS for backing & binding. I'm not going to add a border since it's already about 40"x40". It's made with the new moda blush, tumbled 9 patch (or whatever you want to call it) with layer cake squares. I made 2 x 9 patches, and made one last square (bottom left) w/ two layer cake squares and a charm square. I started it during the Super Bowl and sewed it together yesterday (that was Tuesday) while Craig was home from work (YAY!) I had planned on adding a picture of the finished top, but I left it at my neighbor's house (Booo)

I forgot to submit my finish for last Friday, so if you're visiting from Sew & Tell, please check out last week's finish if you have time! Go Here

Go visit amylouwho's to see everyone else's Sew n' Tell Friday projects

Oh I love the blush line, and that quilt is going to be seriously gorgeous when it's finished!!

BTW I also checked out last weeks post..I love both pillows, But I agree, when you replace the back pillowcases with red, the lone striped pillow will be perfect (not that it isn't now, I'm just envisioning it when it's got the back pillows to play off of). and besides, every chair *needs* a pillow, right??

Disappearing nine patches make wonderful quilts. Yours is lovely.

Hubby is looking over from his work space and anounces "its a tetris quilt, you need one".... uhm, ok... I told him no it was a disapearing 9 patch, but he disagrees.... :) Your tetris quilt is lovely and evidently I need to make one.
