You know, the curves were FAR easier than I would have expected. I actually am willing to do another, so that should tell you something!!! I actually took both halves of each piece with me to work, along with a box of straight pins, and I pinned them while on breaks. About every finger width. Then when I came home at night I would have a stack of 10 or so to stitch up and it never felt stressful. ( you may want to cut generously, that would give you a bit of wiggle room to trim blocks ssquare)
