"Something" Bloom Quilt

As I have mentioned before I am going to make a quilt for my aunt - in earth colors.
Meaning the following fabrics will be somehow used:

and then some...
Looking for a pattern I came across Scott Hansen's "Lantern Bloom"
(Fons & Porter's Easy Quilts; Spring 2010).
It's free somewhere on a website, can't remember how to get there though.

Instead of lantern, I'll use the music & leaves and firework fabrics.
And we'll see for the rest.
It will look much different than Lantern Bloom in the end, but it will be beautiful!
I just know.
Add some orange & yellow fabrics for spunk - and off she goes.
Now for the name: Earth Bloom? Or Music Bloom?
I am open for suggestions!
But a missing name won't stop me.

I hope to document the process here, so my family in Germany can follow.
We'll see how that goes :)
