There are 120 5.5 inch blocks with little triangles at each corner. the pattern is supposed to be totally random, but I set an arbitrary rule of not repeating a color in any block, and I mostly did not repeat colors at a corner. I have completed all the blocks and have sewed together 8 of the twelve rows. Then I will sew the rows together. The pattern has simple diamond quilting pattern echoing the little diamond corners, so I think I will quilt this myself.
Here is my layout before sewing, laid out on a bed. the final layout will be slightly different, because my cat decided to burrow under the covers before I had a chance to gather the blocks in an organized fashion.
The back will be mostly white, but I found this wonderful Sarah Jane fabric when I was buying the solids for this project, and it will be the bottom border of the quilt on the back. I'm toying with a large applique of a balloon at the top of the back with Elin's name embroidered on it, with the string trailing down to the print.
This is the free online pattern I am using: https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2015/06/08/tiny-tile-quilt/
