Really attractive quilt.

What ruler did you use for the pointy/curved corners?

Thanks, Watson. I used two curved rulers on the quilt: QP Curve 8 by Linda Hrcka of (the quiltedpineapple.com) for the pointy flower petals in the body of the quilt (in the big black and white blocks and also in the 16 patches) and on the border. For the spine of the funky feathers in the border I used QP Curve 10 also Linda Hrcka. The nice thing about those rulers is that the inside curve and the outside curve are the same, so you can use whichever one is most convenient and get the same result. For example, I found it easier to use the inside curve when pulling the quilt toward me and the outside curve when pushing it away from me.

Rob, your blocks are beautiful, but it is the quilting that catches my eye. It takes a nicely planned quilt to a beautiful piece of artistry. You took this color block quilt up about 10 levels.
