    We did it! You quilted with me a couple of nights, we pulled an all-nighter even, you provided me with how-to's. (backstory here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-83212-1.htm)

    With this quilt I learned how to cut the circles & that the "special" template I bought was impossible to use. Also, this was my first quilt that I did machine quilting on and a binding. I am no longer intimated by any of these things. And, I am ready to finish the first quilt top I made last year in my Quilting 101 class (quilt in my avatar).
    Here's the finished quilt:

    Very nice work! I like circles, and, yes, they can be difficult! Good work!
