I am making some progress on my quilt from Louisa Smith's class at Asilomar. Yes, I know there is a big hole right in the middle!
That block is down below in this picture. It is placed on my cutting mat and I'm in the process of figuring out to make the cuts I need to make. I must have left the "scene" very quickly, for this block to not have been finished!
The squares are really looking much nicer now that they are getting sewn together, rather than being held on the design wall by pins.
I now have 13 of the 20 squares completed. They really are not that hard to piece together.
If you know how to piece curves, then there's no problem. But there are those mathematical, geometrical shapes to be fitted together. If I'm having trouble figuring out where to make a cut, I just keep trying different cutting templates until I find the one where the seam lines will line up correctly.
And yes, I know that once I get all of these blocks sewn, then I will have to make them line up with each other perfectly so that they will all fit. Sewing curves is not a problem for me, but making the squares all square might just be a little harder!
I'll keep you posted.
