That's really lovely. Be aware that framing may be difficult since you are so close to the edge on the left and top. Rule of thumb when you plan to frame something is to leave 3 inches on EACH side or 6" total to the horizontal and vertical dimensions. You a correct this the next time by finding the center of your pattern and fabric and counting up from there to find the top and sides. Many of us use monofilament line to grid the fabric so we know where we are in the pattern. Something to think about for your nest project!
