designing the baby quilt


back to working on the baby quilt...
decided to add some pink to the soft peachy pink blocks....
also added 8 1/2" blocks mixed with the 6 1/2" blocks...

then I needed to add some 4 1/2" x 8 1/2" blocks...
so I have 2 blocks together make 8 1/2" x 13" blocks...
and 2 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" blocks for 6 1/2" x 13" blocks ...
it seems like this is a good layout...
wondering if this looks okay??...
I kind of like the added pink to the layout...

Here is a question for any nurses reading this...
How are you coming on the transition from MDS 2.0 to MDS 3.0??

most of these fabrics are such a soft peachy pink...
