A Start...
So I bought a solid green quilt for my son Will's big boy bed. I guess that double size quilt seemed a little daunting. However, I am making him a throw sized quilt for the foot of the bed or to put over his rocker. (ignore the wet spot in the middle, it's dry now)
I knew I wanted to use the Riley Blake Wheels line of fabrics, like I used for his bathroom here and here. (Good thing I still like them, as I must have bought about 33 yards of this fabric!). I just couldn't decide on a layout. Then I remembered this squares I made for the do. Good Stitches bee.
The tutorial is on Moda Bake Shop here called a Charming Squares quilt. I changed it up by making each block a 6" square, thinking it would mean less squares (they are a whopping 17" when all 9 are sewn together). I used the brown cheery dots print for the squares because I had about 4 yards of it to be the backing, until I bought a few yards of moda snuggles in brown to back it with. I kind of like the brown for this color combination. I'm skipping all the sashing on the tutorial - just blocks.

That's going to such a cute boy quilt!
