Hello,
I have a question. I am making a quilt and one of the blocks is a "courtyard" block. It has circle pieces and curved seems.. I am not sure exactly how to sew this so that the block lays flat.
Thanks

Hello from Western Maryland !!
Check the tutorials or do a search at top of page. I try not to do curves or circles except to applique them, so I am not much help, sorry.
Some one here will be able to help .

Use a lot of PINS and sew very slow!!

wow! that is very ambitious for a newbie! :) good luck! I only do circles by applique and I have been quilting for years.

It is for a Chakra healing quilt. I have a final project and i picked doing a quilt. I thought about doing triangles and squares, but it just wouldn't be the same.

mark your seams to keep them consistent an clip the curves.

I just found this on you tube...Tomorrow is my day off from being, Mom/maid/cook/wife/everything else, So i am going to try my hand at making the block. I am going to use some scrap stuff first before i make the actual block for the quilt. Thanks for all your tips =)

Forgot the link lol

ok i am so proud of myself!...I made a practice block using the curved pieces. And the block lays flat. Later today i am going to make a practice block of the one i am actually using in the quilt =) Wish me luck.
