Elegant looking is the perfect description. Just the right touch, both the pattern for that fabric and the quilting.

I think I would work in sections by sewing all A blocks to all B blocks, then sewing AB blocks to BA blocks and so on. I would also take care that each newly sewn unit is square before proceeding on.

I had to laugh when I read this because I saw the blocks in another way and had to go back to see your way. In my eyes, block A was the larger square with flying geese pointing out on each of the four sides and four square cornerstones. Block B was a four patch with two flying geese pointing out on opposite sides.
Isn't it funny how different people see different patterns in the same design? Either way, it comes out the same.
But no matter how each of us sees the pattern, this is a beautiful quilt and you did a great job quilting it. Lovely!
