I also read somewhere that when doing something that's curved on both sides (like the tails of the scrolls), you should do the smaller part first, so I try to do that by starting the scrolls just before the head, working the smaller part of the tail and then up the back side of the tail to where I started. It helped a lot when I started doing them that way.
well I did what you said and it helped with the scrolls I noticed that there are alot of scroll blocks maybe by the end of this quilt My scrolls will improve :lol: here is my block# 17 at 7"
