Luckily I read the instructions from the magazine. I was all set to do it in a different order. Their instructions make more sense. You sew all of the straight lines together first. You are then left with several long arcs to piece.
I haven't done much curved piecing. It's slow going.
 |
| First, the center section, all straight seams. |
 |
| Next, the other two sections, still all straight seams. |
 |
| Then add the arc to the corner pieces. |
 |
| Lastly sewing the corner pieces to the center. |
Actually, it's not difficult, it's just slow.
And, it turned out exactly the right size - 14-1/2" square (finished size will be 14").
This quilt should keep me busy all winter.
Remember: enjoy the process.
This is going to be gorgeous! It's a good sign that it came out exactly the right size - mine never do!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janis...Well, one of them came out the right size so far! I found I had to make a little adjustment in one of the templates, things weren't going together right. Luckily, it needed to have just a hairs-breadth shaved off. Now things are lining up much easier.
