Default Finally got my first quilt top finished

Ever since I joined the board and showed off my t-shirt quilt, I've been waiting to show everyone my first real quilt top. Thanks to the encouragement of some very kind quilting angels on this board, I was motivated to keep plugging away. I made this top using part of a jelly roll I found for 1/2 off at Tuesday Morning and combined it with a white on white floral and matching white on green floral I found on sale at Joanns. I used a tube quilt tutorial from Missouri Quilt Co as a guide. The finished size is approx 50 x 60 inches. I have it hanging on the wall for now -- not sure what to do next. Thinking of taking it to a local LAQ as I don't think I'm ready to try to tackle the rest although very interested in trying. I may practice a bit more and wait until after the holidays to try my hand at a simple pattern. Anyway, thanks again to the kind words while getting started.
