Circle Medallion Quilt Finished!

This quilt is for my niece.
Originally my design was supposed to be easy. Do a medallion quilt, mostly easy borders with one or two more complicated ones.  hahahahha!
Making the circles took a long time, appliqueing took some getting use to. The flying geese is a block I had never made before so... they were fun even if they are quite time consuming. But maybe not 2x4 inch blocks next time. :)

The front
 I did a curved bias binding so I wouldn't have to trim off any of my circles. I found that I just loved the circles. As the quilt became bigger, more complicated, and intricate (look at that backing); I was trying to brain storm ways to get this done before my niece turned 30!
The back
Some detail shots of the piecing and quilting. I used a walking foot for all of this.



Note: after washing and drying some of the applique did not stay as one would want, so I will do a little more quilting around the outer circle border before shipping.
