Yay! It's done--and boo! I once again put the hangars in direct line with the white hanging hooks, making the top all wavy. But, it's already after 11, and I'm ready to crawl into bed to read and watch SNL with guest host the remarkable 2nd-act-er Alec Baldwin and the remarkable all-act-er Tony Bennett. So, I'm thinking it's fine for tonight. I really liked the way the border turned out. I had to think it through a bit to get the L's to align as I wanted, and I love the way these two burgun-reds play off each other. I also managed to take a photo of one corner (without flash-blinding it) to show the quilting.
I did simple echo channel quilting every 1/2 inch around the square, but it's been so long since I've done straight lines in my borders that I was quite proud of it. All in all, a perfectly satisfying small project that now serves as a lovely greeting for all who stop by (including my postperson, who leaves me extra JoAnn's flyers with nice notes about how she likes my quilts!).

Marvelous finish -well done! I, too, like the 2-fabric border. A very nice surprise!

Very nice quilting. I think straight lines are harder than curves.
Hooray! It's done! Aren't these small ones so much fun?! It looks very homey and welcoming.
That's a lovely quilt. When you open my front door, the first thing you see is the coat closet, and I would love to put a small welcome sign on it. Just have to make one first...
