Finished a Quilt in an Afternoon? Victory!

Today was a pretty productive day! I managed to get a quilt done from this magazine. It's simple and a great way to showcase large prints.
This is their color way:
  I like it, but I was wanting a little more contrast, and looking to work with colors I don't typically (even though I love them!): Purples, pinks and teal.

This is the focus fabric I chose. It's hard to tell, but the background is actually a dark plum.
 Here's how it turned out. I'm pretty pleased! It's out of my usual red-orange-violet color way, but it looks pretty decent. And the quilt is way larger than I thought it would be. It'll be a nice throw, especially with a neat quilting edge-to-edge pattern
