I would like to see a picture of your whole circle. Could you post a pic of that?

Here is a the picture of the complete circle...I have also included a picture of my first round quilt that I made a long time ago. This was the one I was trying to copy except instead of a Christmas theme I was trying to make a Spring table quilt.
I like the idea of attaching the circle before quilting. I think I will try that.
Have any of you guys used the fusible batting instead of pinning?

Those are really pretty. It doesn't look like it is too full in the middle. I bet it will work out out ok, unless you can pinch up more than 1/2 inch on that inside row.
Did you do this with strip piecing the fabrics and cutting the wedges from the strip pieced panel? Or did you cut each piece out and then stitch?

Thanks for the compliments, I know how hard everybody works on their quilts and I appreciate your kindness.
To Barb: Yes, I strip pieced all the fabric and then cut the wedges alternating back and forth to get that pinwheel sort of look. And I think you might be right, laying it on the floor gives me a much better look at it (I had it laying on my table) and I think it might be ok, I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the input!
