New quilt for the bedroom!

Dave's grandma made quilts with army blankets inside them, along with a layer of batting.  This is the only kind of quilt Dave will sleep under.  So when we got married and I made a quilt for our bed, I made it with an army blanket.  It's so heavy it takes some serious muscle to lift it.  Ten years later, the binding is shot and I'm ready for a fresh color scheme.  This is what the most recent trip to JoAnn's wielded.
The plan is to cut the fabric into random large rectangles.  I have a vision, but I'm not explaining it well.  You'll just need to wait for the finished photos...
