My First Quilt!!!

Ok I am going to attempt my first quilt, well my second if you class this small cot quilt as a quilt????
You may remember a few weeks ago I put out a call for help on designing a SB quilt for my DS using the fabric my SIL gave me!! Well Novy came to my rescue and found a heap of designs on Flickr for me, then I tried to do up a design for myself and couldn't get the measurements right. So a lovely lovely lady, AJ from EB came to my rescue and offered to draw one up for me and and help me on the way.......AAWW how nice of her!!!! So she is putting up the steps (this is strp 1) on her blog for me to follow so if you want to join me in making my first quilt, you can!!!!!!!!

So this is what I started with.

And I purchased these two fabrics to go with it.....(I know I know the green is a christmas fabric, but I loved the gold on the green and it was the only green that matched really well...)

So now here is all the fabrics together.........(I don't know why my pics keep going on the side like this but it is annoying me!!!!)

All I need to get is one more fabric for the outside border but I couldn't find anything suitable so thought I can get that later....
A huge big thank you AJ for offering to help me out with this I really appricate it...........I hope I can pull it off now......
Ok I will post my progress along the way so stayed tune...........
