Hi Mama, My thinking on this is you might try some appliqué to add to your next project. I do both and it seems to soften the sharp angles of the pieced project. Start with something small, like a center block with pieced borders. I do needle turn, myself, but there are several methods, and you should try them all to see what you are more comfortable with. I turn under a 16th of an inch, and clip my valleys to turn them. If you can, take a class on it.
