I am so a beginner quilter (yes, I've quilted for years -- I just don't advance very far) but I've always found curves really easy to do. If you just pin the devil out of them & then go slow, they go together quite nicely. I actually find them fun to do. And if my work ended up looking even half as fabulous as this beauty, I'd be "curving" 24/7. Thanks for showing this little glowing gem to us! I know your friend will love, love, love it!

It is very beautiful. I love the texture. I bet you can now sew curves while blindfolded with one hand tied behind your back!

This is beautiful. I love to hand quilt. Most all of my quilts are hand pieced and hand quilted. Some of the machine quilting just takes away from the designs of the quilt fabric. I have seen some quilts that you couldn't even see the pieces of the quilt. Personally, I prefer hand quilted any day. Beautiful job! ~~Ann~~
