To answer one of the questions..nope I did not use a curve foot but I did use my glue stick, pins and iron. It took abit longer but it was a lot easier and lined up pretty well. I have all the curves done and just need to start putting them all together. My daughter inlaw was bought to the hospital the other night and than transfered to Boston. She is fine but will be there for a week she is due in Jan with my first grandchild. They are just trying to prevent her from having the baby early...oh so anyways...we are dog sitting. It hard to lay out my blocks on the floor and not having the dog walk on them. So debating on if I will sew today. I would love to get the top done this weekend.
