Wow, as usual your quilting is superb. You've taken what could have been a ho-hum quilt and made it a work of art. Did you mark the top before loading it on the longarm?

Oh most definitely! I used a blue water soluble marker. I created freezer paper template 1/4 circles (used 4 layers of FP ironed together to make a sturdy marking template) to mark the outer lines for all the flying geese both the inner ones going around the circles and the little ones that fly along the border. I also marked off the division for the FG but did not mark out every goose just dots where triangle top needed to go so I had something to line my ruler up to. I also marked arrows so I wouldn't forget what direction and still forgot and ended up ripping two geese before I realized (yes, a bad word was involved!). The hook swirl design in the circle done in orange (and also done in the pieced circles in blue thread) I marked the circle and divided it into 8ths but freehanded the design from there. I used my circle template to quilt the outer line of it.
There is a big 8 pointed MC style star radiating from the center pieced circle, I marked the rays of it. You can see the very tips in the picture I posted. All the bubbles (the backfill) are not marked.
