Moda Bake Shop Simply Stacked Squares Quilt

I loved the pattern when I first viewed  on Moda Bake Shop site and the blue fabric she used for her quilt. http://www.modabakeshop.com/2013/06/simply-style-stacked-squares-quilt.html   However I made mine with green squares, adding some other colors.  Using up a lot of stash.
The back is a light green minky also from my stash.
