Default First quilt in almost 10 yrs!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]530360[/ATTACH]
Finished this today, this is my first quilt since 2007, maybe...A long time! Tried to keep it simple, it's from a book called "Becoming a Confident Quilter" by Elizabeth Dackson. I'm not sure how I feel about the lack of borders on the sides, that's how the pattern is, but I'll think about it while I look for some good hand quilting thread...any recommendations?

I'm very happy to have it done, though all I can see is the flaws right now. Might have to quilt it pretty heavy! Lol. Oh well, the next one will be better. I really did almost forget how fun this is, how could I??

I started cutting Friday. And got TOTALLY consumed, just like I remember- spent a silly amount of money this past weekend replacing some tools and whatnots (and a little fabric, of course. Okay, maybe more than a little), the house is a mess and I'm really needing some sleep and I've got my next 3 projects planned...WELCOME BACK TO QUILTING!! HAHAHAHA.

I call it Saffron and Honey. Thanks for looking. ((:
