Quilt of Valor Part 2

I'm making progress on my quilt.

I just stitched the pieces together last three nights.

The picture does not show all the pieces, I'm just showing you what the general layout looks like. ;)

I cut all the blocks at 6" and stitched scant quarter inch. I'm going to cut the border at 6" stripes..... You know, I totally forgot about the binding. I might use the rest of a light color for the binding since the border is darker. What do you think?
