Welcome aboard, Sharon. That's a lovely top with or without the accents. I think the dark binding would be perfect.
Sewing skills are quilting skills, but it can take time to get used to that 1/4" seam allowance. Maybe not as hard these days as before sergers as home options, but when I started sewing as a child, it looked impossibly tiny next to a garment seam.
And kudos for being able to post pictures, we do love the pictures
