OMG August: Quilt Top for Quilts for Pulse (update)

I completed the quilt top and sent it on to Quilts for Pulse. Hopefully it wasn't too late to get quilted. Here's the finished top:

It came out pretty much the way that I planned.

I finally got my sewing machine back from repair, so I started putting the leftover/scrap bits together in a large mini quilt for myself. I had to make two more HST blocks to make it 7x6, instead of 8x5 blocks. Still not sure what I'm going to do with it when I'm done.
