This is what i am working on now. Trying to finish it so i can start working on my Disappearing Nine Patch.I will just have to have 4 WIP going.

I am trying to get those curves in order, it's a devil :evil: getting it straight and keep from stretching it.

OO I just love the colors.. Great work.. can't wait to see it progress.

How pretty!!! :D

I Love the pattern. never seen it before its really pretty and your colour choices are wonderful--Well done you.

That floral fabric is gorgeous! Looks really nice with the solid. Hope you work out the curves.

I love your fabric choice and do not envy you all those curves!!! Better you than me! :D

Love your fabric.. Great job on those curves!!

Lookin' good, Jerrie! You're doing just fine. I, too, love your choice of fabrics! You have a good eye for color. :wink:

Lots of pins (every half inch or so), keeping the "L' shape on top (to control the fullness), and sewing slowly are some of the things I do to make curves easier. Mark the midpoint and quarter point of each curve by finger creasing, match those points up and pin them first. Then pin between them as necessary. Keep turning the piece counterclockwise (to your left) as you sew the curved seam. It gets faster and easier in no time at all...honest! :D My first quilt was a strip pieced Drunkard's Path so all the straight edges were on the bias in addition to the curves. Talk about stretching!!

Beautiful!

Oooo, that is so pretty! I can't wait til you finish it. I love the colors!

Thanks for the idea i will try it.

Very pretty!! :thumbup: CURVES!!---I haven't got the nerve to try them yet! :|

Oh my I love your colors!!!!!!!!!! They showed how to do this today on America Sews......They made it look easy...sure huh....I haven't had the nerve to try something like that...

They put the L on the bottom...no pins....make sure when you start to have the edge straight....they held the top piece up and worked it around the curve as they sewed....took tweezers at the end and waalaa...square up as needed.... Like I said they made it sound easy...gonna have to try before I forget........ :shock:

This is the way i am doing it. But i was strecthing it, i kept doing it and it is turning out ok.
nor'easter told me another way and i tried it it turned out ok also, i am doing the one with the L on bottom i am more comfortable with that way Thanks yall for your help.

Jerrie.....I bet the more you do and the more you get comfortable doing it you'll have it mastered in no time.... :D

Jerrie!! That is beautiful!!!

Gorgeous!! You're doing a great job!

I really like the colors great job

That's going to be pretty when it's done!

I love those colors too. Looks like you are doing a beautiful job. Can't wait to see it finished.

oooooooooooooo that's gonna be beautiful . I can't wait to see it done.

Good for you. I love the drunkards path also. I want to make a block so i got the templates. Quilt n nana

Nice job Jerrie. I have a Drunkard's Path planned for a fall project. I've never sewn curves before, so I could use some advice. Keep posting and I'll keep watch. :)

Jerrie,
You are oh so talented...I haven't tried the drunkard's path yet because it looks scary to do those curves. I'm just now getting around to triangles LOL!! I love your colors and the circle in the center. Awesome.

Very pretty!

Jerrie--love your fabric. I am working on a drunkard's path myself.

ddrobins1956--
I prefer using the Kaye Wood method. She puts her finger between the two layers. My sister also bought her template. We found her method works best with her template which is slightly different from the one my sis bought at Joanne's. We tried the one from the store first

Thank you very much. Post a pic of what you ding so we can see what color are you doing yours in

Jerrie, I love the block and also your fabric. Looks like you can conquer the curve!

Cathie, I don't get that program but it sounds like they were usuing the "curvemaster" foot, I've only used mine on two blocks, on the first one I nearly threw that 40$ foot out the window! I hate wasting money so a couple of months later I tried it again, it was almost as easy as they showed on Sewing with Nancy. it's a strange looking thing but I want to make a drunkards path quilt and didn't want to spend 1/2 the time pinning, I think I'll be glad I did.

Jerrie, I just love that paisley fabric!!!

Love it Jerrie! That's one of my favorite block patterns!

You are doing a BEAUTIFUL job! This is going to be so pretty!! TFS!

Susan

I bow to the master...I'm not even attempting to do that! Beautiful job!

So nice Jerrie. Love the material. Think that might be one block I will never try!!! Don't like being frustrated!
