Beautiful! I know the feeling....I made that pattern (as my 2nd quilt) for my 16 year old grandson in red, black, and white. He would have been mortified at the name of the quilt lol...That quilt is not an easy task. I have the same book that you have! My first quilt was the Dresden Plate that is in that book. Took me a year.
It's amazing how different the pattern looks with different materials. Yours is beautiful, great job and can't wait to see its progress!
