Thanks again for the kind words! :)
And I have finished the quilt top! Yea! :D I decided to split the difference between using a 1" inner border or a 2" one and went with a 1.5" instead. I think it looks just about right. I decided to extend the inner border through the outer border to the quilt edge to continue the trellis theme of the quilt. Also, I used the scraps to create small pinwheel blocks for the corners. Next, on to quilting it!
