I had such a great response to my thread (
Not afraid of curved piecing anymore) I thought I'd share some pattern links I've been saving.
While jumped in feet first with New York Beauty blocks, the following projects would be a much better intro to the world of curved piecing and get gradually more intricate/difficult.
So what are you waiting for?! You can do it!
1)
Melon Patch wall hanging - large pieces, gentle curves
2)
Winding Ways wall hanging - gentle curves, more pieces per block
3) Glorified Nine Patch - two options
(a) Make a large block & cut down to size with template -
Curved Nine Patch pattern
(b) Cut out each pattern piece separately -

4)
New York Beauty - a nice big 12" block
5)
Pickle Dish - ambitious but totally doable!
