I don't have a picture of it done and don't have it here to take one but I'll try to post a picture before quilting and binding. I bound mine with the turquoise center fabric. I'd be interested to know how to get the small curves that tiny.
I think the size of the curve has to do with a couple of variables; the degree of the angle and the size of the wedges at the narrow end. I used a 10 degree angle on the wedges and the narrow ends were only 1/2 inch wide before sewing so they sewed into a point.

Also, I didn't use regular binding, just sewed the top with batting and the backing right sides together and turned it instead. I don't think I'd want to try binding the tiny inside curves on mine!

Love your colors by the way!
