I have worked some with curves and don't mind them. I've done several drunkards path quilts. I got the DWRing quilt templates from John Flynn because I'd heard that he had a quick way to do it. Basically it involves sewing a strip instead of cutting wedge shaped pieces, and then making an additional increase in the seams to make the piece curve. A different process to be sure, but still labor intensive. But the hardest part of the process is NOT piecing the curves, it is making the pieced curves have the ACCURATE shape. If you're off even a little, it lays funny. I took a class to make a tablerunner, but never finished it because I just didnt like the process. Obviously lots of people do, and I'm impressed with their work, but its not for me. (As you can see from my avatar, I don't avoid tedious work!) I agree with whoever said use one of those cheater fabrics , or just make the curves a solid piece. Good luck!
