I think I am succeeding
 
2 Attachment(s)
So I just finished the second round of blocks for my mariner's star. I definitely have achieved matching seams for most of the blocks and I am happy that I've improved my curved seam, albeit there it still isn't at the level I want it to be. I have one little area that I think is a small problem. Nevertheless, in general I'm really happy with the results so far!

No I'm using templates and following what I learned in the book Mastering Precision Piecing by Sally Collins.

What is the fabric with lines behind your quilt? Will you be using it to block your quilt when you're done? I love your blocks and the colors.

Absolutely stunning work.

QM 03-28-2013 03:08 AM

Very good work. A thought: After a comment from my hubby, I went through a national tour of quilts from high level professional quilters. When LOOKING for flaws, I found them in EVERY quilt. The moral is, don't focus on the flaws, everyone has them. Enjoy the beauty of your creation.

matraina 03-28-2013 07:18 AM

Very, very pretty!

MargeD 03-28-2013 07:20 AM
