Quilts with curved piecing.
Sewing curves it not the issue I have with curves. Its the waste that comes from cutting pieces with curves. I have had my eye on a pattern , its all curved pieces, but can't bring my self to make because of the amount of fabric that gets wasted. And at the cost of fabric , it just would make me nutsy do have to toss out such a significant amount. Does anyone else have this issue... or has anyone found a pattern that uses the curved waste pieces ? Or have you done a scrappy with the "waste" curves? I would love to see it.

I really don't have that problem. I decide which scraps to save, which to donate, and which to use to fill the pet beds we make for our Humane Society.
I just like the look of curves in quilts that much.

I'm working on a curved pattern right now. Yes, there is significant waste due to the curves but the final result is worth it. I'm saving my scraps to give away when there's enough. There's some members here who will use scraps and selvedges for pet beds so by doing that nothing is really wasted.
