New Year, New Project

It's been a while since I've worked on an actual quilt, so I needed to rectify this situation.  My best friend from high school is having her first child - a baby girl.  The baby shower is this month, so I need to get moving.  I didn't just want a regular quilt.  Is that strange?  I wanted something different than I usually do.  I decided to make cake only this time on fabric.  I love Jennifer's cake pattern.  I'm going to make 2 cakes with opposite layers with a lot of negative space on the quilt front.  I didn't want the entire thing to be filled.  A little cake goes a long way.  Here's the first of two cake blocks:

The nursery is painted lime green, and the purple is the color of my bride's maid dress at her wedding.
