Sewing Curves


I can't believe it!

I've never sewn curves,
and I didn't know it could be this easy and fun!


I'm taking Rachel's Curves Class, 
and this is the first project I've tried.
(I've been working way too much this month,
and haven't had much time to sew.)
When I started on this project,
I wasn't sure if I could make it work!
So I did the tree as one piece instead of following
Rachel's instructions for a scrappy tree with lots of curves.

Thanks so much for a fabulous project
with wonderful instructions, Rachel!


 I will definitely be making another one
of these mini quilts,
probably in mid-December,
with reds and greens,
and will definitely make the tree curvy scrappy!


Hop over to Megan's Sew Modern Monday
to see some inspiring projects!

  2. Oh, I LOVE the way you quilted out from the star. So pretty. It's also fun the way you used the same fabric in different colors. So glad you had time for this one!

  5. That is supper cool. I love that. I have been afraid to sew curves and even taking a class seems too hard. But I will need to get out of my uncomfortable zone and try it because what you made is amazing.
