Japanese Quilt - finished

Previously I've blogged (here, here and here) about the Japanese inspired quilt my stitching group was making for someone with a significant birthday.  

Well it is complete and has been given to the recipient, unfortunately I missed the event and don't have a photo of the completed quilt.

Here is a photo - where it has been mostly quilted and before being bound (and possibly before another border was added).  
 
The quilting is a mixture of hand and machine.  The batting is wool which is rather boofy, its been around awhile and is quite loose.  This looseness did cause some problems - although nothing that a bit of machine quilting couldn't (mostly) eliminate.
