I have recently finished my first king sized paper pieced quilt and liked the results well enough to go full tilt and make a really complicated quilt using variations on a New York beauty pattern. It has a ton of very very tight inside curves and requires small arched V shaped fabrics to be sewn into that tight curve to complete each block. Ultimately when this is completed it looks like colorful pieced "worms" intertwined on a black background. This might sound hideous but it is actually quite striking! Because the grain of the fabrics is frequently random and with a lot of "give"...should you baste inner curves, aggressively clip the outer curve of the piece to be added, then pin, pray and sew or is there a general rule of thumb that as a relatively new quilter, who mostly learns from utube, needs to know ? Any and all tips, tricks and techniques would be greatly appreciated!
