Excited about my new challenge

This is the picture that made me want to try to make a quilt based off of a picture (quilt pic found at allpeoplequilt.com's share section...click the word picture above and it will take you to the actual picture).  I love the look of the squares all over this quilt.  Wanted to do a blue quilt...with hardly any other color but blue...and remembered this pattern.  Every since ordering the extra fabrics...I have been almost patiently waiting for them to arrive at the house so I could get started.  As soon as I finish the bag I am currently working on, I get to begin cutting this out!  I really can't wait to see if I can look at a pic and make a quilt.

Here are the fabrics I want to use.  Iffy on the spotted on that is the second to the right.  Not sure whether that one will make it into this quilt or become a bag instead.  Can't tell if it goes and am trying for a geometric, maybe manly feel.  The spots look almost like flowers to me now that I see them.
The one that has a little red in it looks so different then the picture online.  The circles, online, were so tiny that they barely were distinguishable as circles but made a neat design.  Still like this print...but a little disappointed.  And my two plain blues ended up being super similar in shade.  Wonder how this is going to turn out?
