Your quilt is beautiful, way to beat the curve phobia. I have yet to try them.

Smooth cuts, perfect curves, a little notch in the center to line up the pieces, and the blocks nearly made themselves! In fact, the blocks went together so quickly, that the retreat hosts, Country Traditions, allowed those who finished a quilt top to actually quilt them on one of their Handi-Quilter machines there at the shop. I took them up on it, and within a couple of hours had it quilted. I put the binding on and hand stitched it on the long drive back home.

I am cured! I love these curves! Everything fits together without hills and valleys. And it appears that the design possibilities are endless. Have you made a quilt with curves? How do you feel about them?
Beautiful job!!

I have not tried a curved design but yours turned out wonderful. I love your choice of fabric as well.

I've done 2 using the accuquilt drunkards path Makes it so much easier and it's so much fun to put together. I didn't know Accuquilt did retreats. That's such a good idea!

Thanks for posting!

That looks great! I would like to try that pattern one day. I recently did a quilt with circles, but I used fusible applique. I really like the look of it pieced better. Love your colors!
