Curved Piecing Demo
September 9th, Julia Deal and I teamed up at the Rochester Modern Quilt Guild (RMQG) to demonstrate ways of incorporating curves into quilt designs. Julia showed a method of applique, and I used the classic Drunkard’s Path block to demo machine curved piecing. I used an 8″ block pattern so everyone could see. I also gave out patterns for a 4″ block.
That’s Julia to my right, with a table of applique samples.
Before we began, someone commented that curved piecing was too hard. But I showed them an easy way to sew the curve with just three pins.
The demo blocks became the bottom row on the Semi-Circles quilt top. Both 4″ and 8″ blocks are included in the design.
