My Quilt Top is Finished

Love a day of sewing and today I finally got my "A Gardener's Journal" Quilt Top completed.

The Inner Border looks fine
But, note to self - Don't use a fabric that has a straight edge in the pattern as it gives the border the illusion of being curved and you can really notice that it's been cut crooked.

Now to work out how I will quilt it.

Thanks so much ladies... I've been in the sewing room starting on the quilting. I'm stitching a frame around each stitchery and then see what else needs doing after that.
Back to the sewing room today. I'm loving this part of it for sure.
Keep going everyone else. There's still time. xx
