There we go, better resolution. First layer is all cut and sewn into strips...I bought WAY too much fabric for this, but that's ok...I have stuff to play with now. Unfortunately, it's all in 2 1/2, 4 1/2, and 8 1/2 strips. Oh well. Next.
Playing around with the other fabrics to imagine what it's going to look like. Not bad, not bad...but...
drumroll please....

Boom! There it is! I ended up swapping the light blue/green, and I think I like it way better this way. It looks more like a picture frame, I think. I wish you could get a sense of how big this thing is, but for reference, that's the foot of my full-sized bed right there. That bookshelf is also about 4 feet wide I think.
But anyways, this is so cool! This is literally all there is to the front of this quilt!! (Minus the binding, of course, but that's coming later.) I wish I could email you this picture right now, I'm so stoked!!!

I took a picture of your quilt to the Concord Piecemakers meeting and asked my friends about getting the middle fingers to stand out. They suggested using a heavy weight thread when you quilt and to "quilt in the ditch" which means right along the seam line. They weren't worried about them not standing out! Borders are looking great!!
Thanks! I'll try that!
