Default First OBW Quilt

This is a pattern I've wanted to make for ages. I've had the fabric for 4-plus years. I took a class in April and got up the nerve last week to quilt it with invisible thread. No issues with the invisible thread, just loosened the top tension. The border is quilted with red thread. It's 60x68 and the colors are a bit darker than they appear; especially the border; it's a dark green.

Pic one is the original fabric, pic two is the back, and pic three is the front.

I've already got my fabric for the second one.
