Just need to find a backing and figure out how to quilt this one. Can't wait to snuggle up under this quilt!

St. Louis 16-Patch
Been loving my St. Louis 16-Patch quilt blocks. They are so fun and quick to put together.
This might be one of my favorite blocks. Love those plums and navys:
Right now it sits at 5 block rows by 6 block rows, for a total of 30 blocks. This will make the quilt 70x84". Not sure if I want to make it any bigger.
They are currently stacked up next to my Bernina ready to sew together. Hopefully I can get her together this weekend!
Any suggestions for backing fabric?

Boston Lobsters
I can't find the words to describe how much I love this quilt. LOVE.
Isn't she perfect!? I made this quilt for my manager who is having a baby boy in about a month. She loves Lobsters, Boston, and the Red Sox. When I found this lobster print (which I'm hoping really is lobsters and NOT crawfish), it just seemed perfect. When I was looking for fabric to go with it, I came across a Reunion Jelly Roll (by Sweetwater for Moda) I had in my stash, which complements it perfectly - so many great navys and reds.
Just a simple 16-patch that I strip-pieced and then alternated with the lobster squares. In case you are interested, these are 8-inch finished blocks, so this is somewhere around a 40x40 quilt.
I just did a simple stipple for the quilting, and did machine binding.
Aren't they cute!?
