Progress on January challenge quilt

I'm gonna make my deadline for sure as long as no real disaster strikes.  Woohoo!  Here is the top all pieced and ready to quilt.

I was trying to decide if I wanted to add borders. I went without. I think the blocks are so pretty and I love the fact that no two are alike in any way, except for size. This is for a couple who are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this month. That is so awesome!  I am half way there... :D  I decided to add four more blocks to make it bigger and to square it out.  I don't think they are very obvious.

I am almost half way on the quilting. Here are some close ups--

It's kind of a mixture of meandering feathers and clamshells.  I get a little lost and trapped at times, so it isn't as smooth as I would like it.  The green line is a chalk mark I put on where the boundary of my quilting area is for that pass so I don't end up with a lot of straight lines because I bump up against the takeup roll. That is not pretty when you have a bunch of curvy things and then all of a sudden there's this straight line. I know - no quilt police and all, but still I want it to be as perfect as I can make it. So, I am gonna count this one as a completion for January's challenge since the top was pieced by the 31st. My computer has been acting up this week and I had a 51 hour week at work, thus the excuse reason for my lateness in posting this.
