I love you(r DNA) Quilt

I created this quilt design to help folks use the new charm packs (5 x 5 inch squares) available from so many great fabric companies. I made this for my daughter, whose birthday is 4 days after Valentine's Day.

My husband named the quilt, he thinks it looks like a DNA test.

Finished size 42 x 60
Supplies:
2-3 charm packs
1 1/2 yards solid brown
Iron
Basic sewing and cutting supplies and a working knowledge of sewing and quilting.

This is cute! Of course, your husband's comment makes me want to run my DNA on a genotyping gel then make a quilt to match... that would be ridiculously awesome.

That would be pretty awesome. I wonder how much that costs?
