Center of Storm at Sea Table Topper

The center of the Storm at Sea table topper is done.  I'm ready to cut the three borders.  Borders 1 and 3 are simple; border 2 has 75 pieces.  I hoped to at least start on them today, but I forgot how long it takes to remove the paper -- even the thin newsprint I use -- from the back of a paper-pieced quilt top (and how it makes the tips of my fingers complain!).  The top now measures 36" x 36".  It will be 55" x 55" when it is complete.
