First thought, Sunny: do this in sections and make the sandwiches and quilt them, before you try putting them together. Look in your library for some 'Quilt as you go' books. Several are by Georgia Bonesteel, but not all.
If you've been collecting pink and green, and have to get some more, try to fill in shade-range gaps with the new ones. By that I mean - most people buying pink, forget the lovely deep pinks. So try to cover the full range; green is no problem, there are shades of all levels available to you.
Make a pattern you will enjoy doing - it's going to be a large undertaking.

I've been saving FQs for a lap quilt for my mom, who just moved into
an assisted living facility, although she still drives and is quite
independent. Anyway, I just got off the phone with her. She called to
ask me if I could "whip out" a "little something to cover" her bed.
Sure, Mom.... what size? "Oh, queen size. And can you make it big
enough so I can use it for a bed spread. And some pillow covers would
be great too."
Ack.
I've done some long twin size quilts for my sons, none of which has
been a work of art. But I've never attempted anything approaching
queen size, much less one with enough overhang and length to be a
bedspread.
Ack. Somebody tell me I can do this??
Okies, better start buying more of those pink and green FQs.
