Opal-Inspired Baby Quilt Flimsy

I wrote about being inspired by the colors of opal gemstones in this post. This was my color inspiration:

I pulled a palette of aqua, orange and yellow along with white-based low volume prints with a lot of color in them. This is what I ended up with, for a baby quilt.

The blocks are small, 6", and the top finished at 36 by 42", so I'll be able to use one WOF for backing if I quilt it on my domestic machine. I have a lot of small to medium pieces of batting on hand, so I'm sure I have or can piece a batting of the right size. I was able to find peach flannel for the back in the club's stash - perfect! When finished, this quilt will eventually go to a young family at Luke Airforce Base. 

I love this palette for a baby, and I'm pleased with how this top turned out.
