    Here's a sample of my quilt made with gentle curves. It was the first time I used them and I love the technique!

    When I did curves, I laid both square or rectangle pieces on top of each other and cut them together so after they are cut, you have 4 pieces to sew together. A top piece to the bottom opposite piece and vice versa. I hope this explains it.
    It is not that difficult, expecially when you want to make random curves. You have endless options ahead of you. Good luck.

    Congratulations. Your block looks awesome. I have curvy rulers and the Curvemaster so need to give it a try.

    Isn't so satisfying to learn a new technique? Yours turned out really nice.
    What is your next goal? You are on a roll now!

    The curves really soften the angles and make it all look so much more interesting. Thanks for sharing.
