So much easier than turning under the edges to applique. I haven't tried it, but wonder if the same technique could be used to make rounded blades.
I used this tool made by Darlene Zimmerman for a quilt block for lqs block of month. I found it very easy to use and it looks like the company also makes one with rounded top, you might want to check them out under "Sewing and Quilting" section.
