    How about if you alternate the green and pink as it goes round in each block?

    (since, you know, you already have the base quilt done.:mrgreen:)

    And, of course, the OP can use 20 plus pink and green fabrics to give it a bit more interest.

    I like yellow but that is a lot of yellow.

    And you have 5 weeks to get it finished? Yikes!

    I would go simple: snowball 9patch.
    Here's the pattern:

    And here is a coloring book page so you can try out different colorations.
    http://www.straw.com/quilting/articl...allcolor2.html

    I would probably make yellow "balls" with green corners and 5 green squares in the 9patch with pink background. Hmmmm... that might look like flowers with green leaves.

    Have fun with it. But hurry!

    I love PP and love this pattern, have already placed it on my "to do" list.

    For your quilt, won't you need a few additional colors?

    .........and will there be enough contrast with the yellow as a background?

    I do think that your choice of pattern is on the right path...

    good luck.

    I like Lea's setting, the one that comes up first. When I first read the color requirements I could not picture it at all, but seeing the setting colored, it's lovely
