For some reason, this quilt top has turned out a lot larger than I thought it would! I'd say it's at least twin size or larger. The size is right on for what the pattern says, I just didn't expect it to be so big. :)
It really is pretty though and the borders really tie it all together and make it look great. Even though they're kind of a pain to sew it really adds that extra detail this quilt top needed.

Now to decide on quilting. I think I'm going to go with stippling. I haven't done that in a while on a quilt and it seems like it would be good for this quilt. The backing is made and hopefully I'll have a chance to baste it in the next few days. With the extreme hot weather we've been having that might actually get done as we're hanging out inside a little more than what we have in the past month or so. But first, I have to take the kids blueberry picking! I think we better go right away in the morning before it gets too hot.

Pretty! I love the borders. I'm hoping to get a quilt basted today or tomorrow too. have fun stippling :D
Really pretty! The colors are wonderful, and that dewing is perfect for those fabrics!
Very pretty! But I have to say that your hubby cannot take credit for quilt modeling. His feet are not showing on the bottom ;-D All of my quilt models have feet!
Love your choice of borders! Are they both DS?
Great color choices and wonderful pattern, but I always like fig tree patterns so it isn't a big surprise that I would like this one too :)
so fresh and summery. The polka dot inner border is way cool! BTW, hope you can stay cool too.
So cute!!!
It turned out so great! I love it.
I love it! And Throwing Stars is perfect!
This is so great! Love the two borders as well. What a cool pattern.
I love that setting!
