Do we need sleep? I want to sew!!!!! I just made freezer paper templates for the drunkards path block. But I think it's wiser to try and get some sleep......

Teen

Yes, sleep is probably a could call right now...hahaha... I'm going to attempt to sew them since they are 8". it was the 6" block on SBS that did my head in. Ended up appliquing that one. On that nasty Peter pay Paul block I glued my curves together and it worked great. I may do the same if these end up being too challenging otherwise. I generally have no problem with pieced curves but not much practical experience in tiny pieced curves.

Teen

Cutting these out was more challenging then sewing them... 2 more to go of these blocks...thank goodness.. Not sure the method you use to sew curves, Anael, but I'm a pinner as taught by the Craftsy class and it worked well... Didn't have to glue...

Great job Teen. The block looks awesome.

Anael

Oh Teen that one is wonderful!!
Yes, I'm a pinner too. Hopefully mine will look as good as yours!

Anael I love the blocks the new ones definitely flow together better.

Teen those curves look great! I made some curved blocks a small drunkards path and they did not meet up as nice as yours. I used a special foot to do curves called Curve Master.

Teen

Thank you, everyone! Christine...I've never heard of a presser foot like that. I will admit, I am completely ignorant o the many presser feet on my machine and really only use about 4 different ones. I'm going to look that up.. I should make it a goal to learn each one but I'd rather just keep on keeping on.. Lol!

I've assembled part of section 2 and will likely not get anymore completed for a couple of weeks. I leave on Sunday and will be gone but I'm taking some of the applique with me to work on while gone...here is what I have so far....

Anael

Love it Teen, it's coming together nicely Are you consistent in using black/white as checkerboard?

I don't think I have a special presser foot for curved piecing. I don't do enough curved piecing to get a special foot. However......with all the Jen Kingwell quilts.....she uses curved piecing quite a lot. I'll look into it.

Teen

Thanks, Anael.... Yes, I'll be using B&W for all the checkerboard fills. I like the look of it. This may change when all sections are done and laid out but I'll see how it looks...I don't know if you noticed but I added a small side border along berry basket block. I ended up trimming to finished size..ugh! So, I had to add to the block. Lol...Lordy..I think it looks good and I didn't want to re-do the whole block...

Anael

Been there, done that too Not so easy to save though. I had to make a whole new block. That's the great thing about this quilt, it's yours and you can do whatever you want. Noone will ever know the berry basket block shouldn't be like this. I didn't notice.

Thanks, having the grands here is always nice! Now it's time to go to bed, it's 11 pm here now. CU all tomorrow!
