The only difficulty I see is that quilt is really big-so it will be a bit awkward to handle as it grows! I would give it a go, especially if the curved piecing is your only reservation!!

I even did the scalloped binding. I still have it, though a little worn, and really proud of it since every stitch is mine.

The name of the book is "Rings That Bind", by Cheryl Phillips of Phillips Fiber Arts. She lives in Colo. I'm sorry I can't give you the exact web site to get to, but I can't find my book right now. This was easy to do using her method I thought.
What ever you do if you decide to make one, no matter whose pattern you use, PREWASH all of your fabric and use the RETAYNE when you do. Ask me just how I know. I am still trying to get some of the bleed out of my daughters quilt from the first time it was washed, and believe me ALL of the fabric was washed before I cut any, but I didn't know about RETAYNE then.
