I love the ways the colors blend, too! This is just gorgeous! What is the name of the pattern? And BTW... I think 9 months is a fine time frame. Didn't it take you about that time to "make" your DD, too? LOL!
We have a book by Blanche Young that has the B9P and I have wanted to make one for a long time. Yours is awesome. She did a great job on fabric selection.
