Blogger seems to have taken care of the font size discrepancy which makes me happy!
The quilting is completed on the patchwork border and the white border.
This quilt has some issues besides all the puckers, like an uneven edge! Oh well, that just adds to the charm of the quilt.
When I quilted the border on the other side of the quilt, I quilted the Baptist fan regular with the fans going the same direction. When I started quilting the side borders, I started alternating the directions of the fans. I liked it that way, so side of the pieced border also has alternating fans. Yes, that mean one border is different but that's ok on this quilt. She likes it that way.

Always love seeing your quilting and isn't it wonderful when quilts speak to us and tell us what they need. Better to embrace the charm than fret over it!
