The idea of sewing curves totally terrifies me, so i've decided to face my fears and tackle a Pickledish pillow using Aneela Hoey's great tutorial at Comfort Stitching. My arches are pieced, and the background fabric is cut out. All that's left now is to start stitching those curves. Deep breath - I can do this.
I'm linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced - go check out everyone's projects.
Good for you!! You can do this :) I just finished a Single Girl quilt top last month, and while curves definitely are a big challenge, they're definitely do-able :)
ReplyDeleteOh so gorgeous! I love curves and haven't attempted them yet. It looks like you've done beautifully with these.
ReplyDeleteLooking great! Good luck on sewing the curves, can't wait to see the finished pillow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally afraid of curves, too, so I'll be watching to see how they go!
Good luck!
Im sure you will have no troubles doing curves! i LOVE your fabrics, i think they look amazing on that grey colour background! i would love to tackle a pickle dish (someday...)! x
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colors and fabrics and the background sets them off perfectly!
ReplyDeleteJust remember to pin, breathe, sew. You CAN do this!
You are not alone, I don't know what it is about curves that gives us that sense of dread. Good luck! Can't wait to see how they come out.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - your pickledish is amazing! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI've been hesitant on tackling curves myself, but I'm getting ready to take that leap! Your curves are beautiful, I love your fabric selections. I bet this one will be a stunner!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are great so far, just take your time and they will turn out fine!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the curves! I have yet to try curves. On a side note, I majored in French in college but have never been to France. I am so jealous of you living in Paris!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Your arches look beautiful, and I'm sure the finished quilt will as well.
ReplyDeleteHey, good for you, facing down those curved seams. Your arches are looking great! I can't wait to see the finished pillow. Use lots of pins and you'll be fine :) And thanks for the tutorial link
ReplyDeleteOf course you can.....looks very nice so far
ReplyDeletevery nice! I think it will be worth the patience of going slow to assure nice curve.. if I could convince myself of that,I could probably do one too.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are gorgeous! And way to go, facing your quilting fears. : ) I can't wait to see more! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday.
