its very difficult to sew curves let alone on this size scale. when i was during the 4 inch NY Beauties for my IRR center i wanted to shoot myself.

That can be SOOO frustrating when one can't fiqure out where the glitch is.

curves that tight are very difficult. i had to do 8 of them for my IRR center and they were NY Beauties so it was 4 curves for each block and then 8 blocks.
i really did want to shoot myself for making them 4 inches

if you want to applique it you can put it on a solid background because you would cut that block into 4 sections.
so you would make half (9) with a red background and a cream circle and then the other 9 would be cream background with a red circle.
cut all of those blocks into 4 sections and mix them together 2 of each type per block.

I'm going to work on this tomorrow gang. I'm still recovering from pneumonia and I find myself incredibly exhausted with minimal efforts. So, it's off to bed, if I can get the kids settled and quiet.
