Pink quilt progress

I took down the t-shirt quilt top and started putting the pink pieces on the design wall. I want to make this look as scrappy as possible. Here are the first 10 rows. I wish I had a few more prints, but I am not about to spend any money right now so it is what it is! I will sew together these rows before I lay out the next 9 rows.
I did find a cone of pink quilting thread so that was good.
The saga continues with the t-shirt backing. I told him when he was over that panels would not work. So what did he send me a picture of that he liked? A panel. I finally did a little sketch and showed him what the back would look like using panels and he now finally gets why a panel won't work. Geeze! He is going to look some more. He wanted Harley Davidson fabric, but most of the places did not sell yardage - only FQ or some really odd sized pieces. Then the next thing was something with eagles. A lot of the fabric with eagles was either panels or fugly!

sometimes a picture/chart/sketch is the only way to explain ... my first-line supervisor used to say "draw me a picture" - i was 19 and i thought he was a nut job, but charts were the only way i could communicate with him ... looking good with the pinks!!!

There are so many different kinds of pink, some lean toward lavender and some toward apricot and then there are the middle of the road pinks. Your variety looks good in the photo.
