Update: so I never added the border, kind of stopped quilting for maybe a year? Then in the summer of 2019 I pulled it out again to start up again on it...went to Fabricland and they were out of black. So I stopped quilting again...then I just pulled it out last week and added a border! Yay! I didn't have enough black to do another black strip and guess what, Fabricland has no black lol
So now I'm waiting on black and Im debating if I want to pay someone to quilt it, tackle it on my little emerald 118, or wait until Fall when I might upgrade my machine for the first time.
(and I've continued to work on another quilt top, no putting away the machine for another year)
I've attached a picture to show you, if you are interested
