Just a plain fact here for the newbies.....All the rest of us are intimidated by Kass and GramE's work too! We all love it but, I, for one, could never hope to even come close to what those two can do with a needle and thread. We count ourselves lucky to have them with us and appreciate their work when we're lucky enough to get it.

SBG, those baby birds are adorable. We’ve got bluebirds eggs again, 5 this time, and 4 or 5 Carolina chickadee eggs too. Babies soon! Our cardinals have already flown the coop. Have you been watching the yellow cardinal in Alabama? Mr. Yellow he’s been named. https://www.google.com/amp/s/relay.n...are-yellow-spd
GramE, beautiful work.
Kass, the turtle is beautiful. Love how you worked the curves.
Billi, the blue floral is one of my favorites ever. I still have a tiny scrap of it.
TG, the saga of the original package will end one day but will it end here or there? The new F8s are pretty.

No, no, no! Lol. Kass’s work is unique and beautiful and there’s nothing the least bit intimidating about Kassaundra herself. She’d probably be pleased to explain how she does what she does as she has before. Kass is a great resource. She's written at least one tutorial on the QB.

Happy you checked in. I guess there’s lots of resting and reading ahead while it heals.

SBG, what sweet little babies, always fun to watch them grow
Heck Kass I thought the turtle was cute before you made the curves, now the block is amazing.

LOL LOL LOL you guys kill me (in a good way) I probably do need a warning label though!!!!! lol lol lol
Well I headed for work today, made it and stayed for about 20 minutes. I am now back home so I can medicate myself on high doses of benadryl. I have a brown recluse bite that has started to necrose. I didn't know about it until last night (the bite is painless). The necrotic area is still small but the affected area is about the size of a spread out hand, it is on my upper arm, besides the immediate affected area the whole arm is slightly swollen and stiff.
As to how you do the curved edge piecing. Everywhere you want a curved edge needs to have a folded square of fabric covering the solid piece. The square is folded into a triangle w/ the folded (bias) edge to the inside (raw edges of the folded and solid under piece together). They are sewn as a whole unit or one piece of fabric catching the edges in the seam. After the block is constructed all the bias folded triangle overlay edges are folded back on themselves and top stitched down.
