New York Beauty quilt top finish

As I already mentioned, I entered the Quilting Gallery's wall hangings contest. While I was there, I noticed this quilt by Teresa at Quilting, stitching and sew on:
I had been doing the New York Beauty sew-along at Sew Sweetness, but having got to block 4, my enthusiasm was waning. So when I saw this, I thought - hey, if I get one more block done I could finish my quilt off in the same way.

So I worked on it all weekend, and here it is:
Apologies for the crap picture quality (as always. I really need to find a tutorial or something!)

    Very nice 16 block NYB layout. I am working on a 16 blocker too and am unhappy with one pair of blocks but yours gives me an idea of a potential way to make it better... Hmmm. Thanks for the idea, even though it means more sewing! I like the border too, that is another possibility to consider. Great finish. How do you plan to quilt it?

    Those NYB blocks take up so much time, it is difficult to keep the momentum going. Your quilt looks great, well done.
