Whew, it's been a long week spent on this quilt not without struggles. However, I refused to give up and I am so happy I did.
I finished 22 of 30 blocks this weekend. The good news is that once you get the hang of the curves they get somewhat easier to sew! I haven't taken the time yet to lay them all out to see how they look, and I think I will wait until they are all done to do that.
These connector blocks are what gave me trouble this week. I have sewn, resewn, and recut the fabric. I could not get them to match points in the centers and on the top and bottom with the cutting instructions given...so, I did it my way and they worked out! There are only 15 of 98 of these completed, so obviously I still have quite a bit of sewing to do. I'm at the point now where I don't want to leave the sewing machine because I cannot wait to see them together! Make sure to check out Cupcakes 'n' Daisies to see the progress of others. Happy Stitching!! Kristen

Oh your blocks are wonderful! Made in my favorite colors! I have not tackled curved piecing yet, but need to take the plunge. Happy sewing!
First, your colors really sing to me. And wow, good for you to keep at a challenging quilt. I'm looking forward to other Monday posts to see how you are coming along.

Beautiful blocks. It looks like you are an old pro at sewing curves.
