Finished Curved Medallion Quilt

I started this quilt about 5-6 years ago. I put it away once I finished the center medallion. The curved piecing wasn't sitting flat enough for my liking. Amazingly enough, after being stored for so long, it did flatten a fair bit. A wedding prompted me to pull it back out and complete it. Here are the results.

Hint

Use dog brushes (the flat square ones) to card your fibers for spinning! A good way to get started.
