Thank you to everyone for all of the advice you gave to me on my previous posts regarding this quilt for my daughter. I am soooo glad this top is finally completed! This is only the 2nd quilt I have ever done and I thought (stupidly) when I read the directions "this sounds easy enough" :) This was not a quilt for a beginner to take on. The final problem was what to use for a border and she took one look at the choices and immediately chose the fabric with sayings. I think it is to busy looking, but she is thrilled. Thanks everyone for looking :)

The left side looks puckered but I just couldn't get it all to fit smoothly on my design wall
