my 'appliqué garden' quilt is finished

It is finished and on my bed. Will try to take a better picture outdoors on the cloudy day, my house is too small.
I am happy that it is finished and I like it because it is for me. There many mistakes, but who is watching. If it was hand quilted it would be perfect but, machine quilting was my choice and I did not do any fancy patterns because I do not quilt that well. It is meander, morning glory leaves and cross hatch on the checkered borders. The binding is green, as the first checkered border.I have about 5 inches left of the binding, (I was so short of that fabric that I could not sew pieces of binding on bias).
Thank you for taking your time to see it.

machine quilted is FINE. No worries there! I like that you are using the green on the edges. Will pull it all together nicely.

It is lovely. It looks calm and peaceful to me. I like that it is uncluttered. You have "enough" going on it - and quit adding things while you were ahead.
