The sashing and rows came together pretty easily, which is always nice.
I hope to get both borders as easily--this is just a mock up.
Had a lovely weekend capped by going out to brunch Sunday to celebrate a birthday--mine! Yep, today's the day I turn 50. Hard to believe five decades are now behind me. From left to right that's my son-in-law Chris, daughter Elaine, me, son Nick, my mom and dad, my mother-in-law Frances, and my hubby Grant. Nick's girlfriend Alison took the photo.
Beyond the gate we were posed against was the Pacific and a beautiful view looking out to the Channel Islands, a national park.
This mural in the lobby of the Embassy Suites hotel where we went for brunch depicts what it might have looked like a few hundred years ago when the Spanish were settling in the area. Not much different, really! See more design walls on Judy's Patchwork Times.

Such a good looking, happy family, and such a special day -- your reaching the big 50. Happy, happy birthday to you, my blogging friend and sister-in-transcription. I have no doubt you have a wonderful day of celebration.
The Flowers quilt looks great. I love sashing that adds to the design of the quilt, like this one. How special that Nana Girl herself wrote a comment.
