Adding a ruffle to a quilt

I've been chatting on Facebook about adding a ruffle to a quilt, so I thought I'd just stitch up a sample and show what I meant.
It's on Youtube. http://youtu.be/oHe5nHmq69Q

Ula BOM top done

Done is better than perfect, and I got a burst of energy when I realized that I am not going to spend any significant time fiddling with the little things that are wrong with this top.
 There are points too shy to come out of the seam allowance, a few of the triangles are so mad at each other that they won't even touch each other, but they are all just going to have to get over themselves. Because I've gotten over them.
Top is done, now to decide how big a border and finish it.
Warts and all, I'm still very proud because I've never done such a large amount of paper piecing.
