I think you need a more free form method. Check out Caryl Bryer Fallert's applipiecing method on her website.

Wow, thanks everyone for all the ideas and especially themadpatter for the tutorial!

I have a bunch of not-so-favourite fabrics that I'm going to try these ideas out on.

I don't want to use fuseable, I'd like to actually piece the entire thing.
However, I have no idea how to piece those curves together.

I've attached a quick sketch....any ideas on how to piece intersecting curves like that?

Thanks!

Watson, I was going through some of my books yesterday and I think this book would be a great book for you to look at if you can find it in your library or on-line. It is a C&T Publishing book.
“Curves in Motion—-Quilt Designs & Techniques” by Judy B. Dales. Pub. 1998

Her piecing is similar to what you have described/drawn in your example.

Ellen1...Amazon.ca had that one for only $10. so I bought it. It looks like it may be just what I'm looking for! We'll see on Tuesday.

Oh good, I’m glad you found it. At a good price too. Very nice book. I wanted to post some photos so you could see, but decided that would not be acceptable on the board. I also think this book and her technique is what you are looking for. I hope it works for you. Ellen
