Thanks! Lin, I actually had this partially pieced about two weeks ago but petered out by the time I got to putting it together vertically. There are also a few spots (1 inch squares) I plan to go over by hand since I'm not completely satisfied with a couple of seams.
I'm still not convinced of my color choices with the border as well as the backing fabric. The orange I originally picked out seems very bright to me distracting from the top, which now to my way of thinking, simply won't do. Maybe just stick to a matching brown and back with a pale yellow? If I turned the back for binding that could work huh?
