NZquilter - I'm with you on the purple. I've made a couple of purple quilts so far, and both were made for some one specific. Otherwise I don't know if I'd make a purple quilt ever.
Midwife -now those are more my colors LOL!!
I didn't start off well - laid out the blocks for the baby quilt and realized I need to make sure to sew the wide sides first. Got it all arranged how I liked it, put them in a stack and pinned them. Took them to the machine and proceeded to sew the short sides together first. Laid it out on the ironing table and saw that I know had a long, narrow baby quilt! Oh well, that is what seam rippers are for. It's back together correctly now, so on to the big one. I have that one laid out to sew the short ends together first. But since it's 5x5, it will be the same size regardless.
