Blocked

I don't have much to show this week, because it took me a long time to complete my do. Good Stitches block (blogged about here). 
Yesterday I cut everything out for my next project.  I'm making a baby quilt for my niece whose making her debut into the world in April.   I went with a classic combination of pink & brown, but used slightly more mature prints so that it's not extremely baby.  I pieced together the first block last night:
The blocks are going to be framed in chocolate brown to give it a bit of grounding.  The pattern is based off of Salt Water Taffy by Crystal Hendrix.  I saw it on Moda Bakeshop and really liked it.

Other projects
