Lazy Sunday, Quilted and Bound

I got Bonnie Hunter's  Lazy Sunday finished last night.  I waited until today to take a picture, but it is gloomy out, so the lighting isn't great.

 
 
 

 
I have mixed feelings about this quilt.  I don't love it because of the fabric I used, but I think it is a very good pattern.  I like the pieced border, but I had stretching problems with mine (user error, nothing wrong with the pattern).  This quilt is made entirely of scraps and stash. 
 
 The backing is a Civil War print that I've had forever.  It is also a fabric that I don't love.  It is 'quilt shop quality', but it feels coarse to me and was  stiff with sizing before I washed it.  I know it will improve with each wash because I've used it on another quilt.  I am glad to be rid of it, though!
