the beginnings of a modern quilt

During the past few days, I have been cutting out hundreds of rectangles for a new quilt project. Never mind I have several other quilts in progress already... :)

The pattern is called plain spoken from this book. There are some examples that I found on flickr here and here and here.
Here's hoping that my color choices look as good in the quilt as they do in my head.

Gratitudes:
1. Healthy kids
2. Routine
3. A quiet day at home
