All the tutes so far have been for geometric designs. I have a pic I want to use with my bird project that I'm going to try to PP design. Wish me luck.

So far, I'm not having a great success. You have to think three steps ahead. First you have to divide the pic into workable sections. Then you have to figure out which pieces go 1st, 2nd etc.

Third, you have to remember the phone number for the "happy house" or where you put the aspirin.

Curves can be done using small slivers of fabric in what appears to be a spray. Each straight line contacts the desired seam in such a small place that a curve appears. I will try to draw one and upload it.

I start with the figure itself, and angle the pieces depending on the shape of the figure. A full circle might be an unusual piece to do, but this illustrates the process. Then you just have to decide where to start, and proceed around the curve.
