This is a very nice technique; thank you for posting the tutorial.

Can you tell us how big is the finished quilt that you designed? What do you plan on doing with it?

For these gentle curves, simply sew slowly - don't pin -- and use your fingers to keep moving the fabric edges together. This style generally requires that you trim off the ends cause they'll usually not meet.

This is how Alicia Merrett does it too - here's the first of her 3 videos on YouTube - perhaps it will help. :-D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUQ38B0AJMA

Hope you don't mind me chipping in Quiltinvaca :-D

Thank you so much! I've never seen this before but it certainly demonstrates the technique. I think these quilts are so much fun and are the best way to use up old scraps (if you like the modern look).
