    Great job! Not sewn curves yet, need to get over my fear as I have a lot of patterns that have curves. I seem to be attracted to quilts with curves.

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?
    Lol...I know exactly what you mean. Except I used the Fons and Porter drunkards path templates. Accurate cutting and the clip in the center and a pin on each side. They really do just seem to fall together.
