Default Blooming Cherry Blossom Ninepatch - in progress

Some of you may remember that I've been wanting to make a quilt that represents that yummy feeling I get in early spring when the cherry blossoms bloom. At least a year ago, I started collecting fabrics that conveyed that sense of color and light that I absolutely love. You can read the starting challenges here:

For the time being, I've settled on the Blooming Nine Patch pattern. The cutting and piecing is very simple; the most difficult part is selecting the 8 required fabrics to make it work. I have 7 -- only six of which are in the photo below. I'm still seeking a mid-tone green/rose combo for the next row out.

Thought I'd share my progress.
