Going in Circles



Yes I have started another quilt! This is Chic Country by Sew Kind of Wonderful. They make the Quick Curve Ruler. Scrappy seems to be my thing these days!


It has gone pretty fast once you get all the  pieces cut out. That takes forever!!!! It does become mindless sewing which is good for me right now.


For those of you that have never used the Quick Curve Ruler, it will change your mind forever on curves! It makes them easy and doable.
After I cut out all those pesky pieces and sew them together it will look like this. Pretty bad? At this point you can spray it with starch or my favorite, Mary Ellen's Best Press.


Next comes the trimming, it's very satisfying.....


Pretty darn easy and a pretty perfect block.


AND you can chain piece them for an even faster way to go.


How perfect (for me) is this fabric? It is decorator weight and I am planning to make an ironing board cover along with a new board,  I need a bigger one. It is by Lori Holt and she has a Youtube video on how to make the ironing board. My friend Stephanie and I think she is the most clever quilter out there. She knows what we need before we do! 


I ran across this on Instagram and fell in love with the pattern and the colors. It's by French General.



It is not something I needed to add to my "pile" but I feel like things are slower in the summer and it may be just the perfect porch activity.

Once again, to those that emailed me for a pattern. If you did not receive one, it is because it did not include your email address and I have no way of know where to send it to. Same thing with comments. I always respond to every single comment, unless I don't have your email address.
Another thing.....Blogger has changed and I am not sure if I have figured out all the new steps. I hope this turns into a blog post!
