I made a NYB table topper for our oldest daughter when I first started quilting. She loves it! When we go there, I look at it and can't believe I made it! Not perfect, but she likes it and that is what matters. Mariah.
Anxious to see it when it is done!

Did you find it hard to sew the blocks with the curves. That is one thing about that block that "scares" me.

Just jump right in and try a pattern. That's what I do. Sometimes I end up just doing one block. I guess I like the challenge of seeing how it's put together. haha I still have no idea about the quilting part. That's something I don't enjoy at all, but I still call myself a quilter.
