Making Progress

I'm making progress on the quilt I'm putting together.  It's from the first Mystery Quilt class that Sara and I did together.  Sara's has been done for years now, and I should have my finished within the next month or two...  Center of the quilt is done, and we spent a while figuring out borders.  I'll be putting on three, so we had to determine placement, width, and whether or not I have enough fabric.  Normally a pattern will give you all that information.  In this case, the pattern calls for two borders and a binding.  I'd purchased the fabrics for the quilts a long time ago and now want to use the binding fabric as a third border.  Changes dimensions slightly for the outer border and I can't remember how much fabric I bought for any of the three.  The next time I post pictures, the quilt should have its borders.  After that, it's a matter of putting the layers together.  I'm almost there...
(By the way, that picture was from the camera on my phone.  I'm pretty pleased with the quality...)

Impressive...what size will it be when it's done?

It's a lap quilt, so it'll end up approximately 55" x 70"... perfect to curl up under on chilly evenings during the *long* winters. =)
