My first since an accident!

My first since an accident!
It's been a LONG time since I posted a quilt that I not only made, but quilted.
I started this quilt since we got home in January....my first since the accident (I fell and broke 2 bons in left elbow, fractured my left wrist and fractured my right elbow --- had surgery on the left elbow)!!! I'm especially proud since the Ortho Surgeon said I wouldn't be able to use the longarm!!! LOL...yeah, right......I may need Aleve every night from the pain, but I'm proving him wrong!!!!!
This is a lap quilt for my daughter -- 47" x 47"........I used Warm and Natural and MetroEmb thread. The pattern is called Hana Bouquet from Kona Bay Fabrics website.
I attempted that little squiggle stuff in the small rectangle and triangles....man, that's harder than I thought!. Which reminds me.....I did NOT screw up! The triangles are not the same size...pattern calls for 2" square and 1 1/2" square. The picture of the quilt even shows the oddness of it. It's driven me nuts.....and if I ever do this pattern again, I'll make them the same size! LOL
The binding will be in the dark green like the inner border. I didn't do a closeup of that border. I replicated the leaf pattern that was in the fabric.
