Patchwork on a blanket

My new obsession is quilting.  I've actually only completed one (I'll post a picture soon), but there is another in the pipeline.  I do love the 5" square charm packs you can buy - someone else has done all the boring work of cutting out for you!  (Am I the only one who doesn't like the cutting out bit?).
My friend Tracy, having seen my 'quilt in progress' asked me to do some similar patchwork that, instead of being quilted together with wadding and backing, could be sewn directly onto a big fleecy blanket.  Anyway, we found a random assortment of fabrics in my stash and using the 'disappearing nine-patch' technique, I came up with this!
