I took my first quilting class in almost two years last night, and learned how to create curved piecing. It helped so much to take the class as she taught us a little trick to the curve I'm thinking I most likely wouldn't have figured out by myself! Thank goodness....NO PINNING involved!! LOL!! Inspired by so many of you, I'm using a light background, this white with grey dot below. (I don't think I've ever used a light background before??)
The rest of the fabric is from my overflowing stash of polk-dots.

I need to sew 96 of these pieces...four down and 92 to go. Oh my!
Geuss you know what kind of piecing I'll be up to until our next class on March 11th.
Very pretty! I love the light background. Just wishing that class was closer to me.
ReplyDeleteLove all the dotty goodness.
ReplyDeleteI can tell already that I will love your quilt. Love those dots!
ReplyDeleteAll that spotty gorgeousness.......loving it! The white and light grey spots is a brilliant background. I'm guessing you will be seeing dots for quite a while!

What great blocks and it sounds like it was a great workshop! Love all of the dot fabrics you are using. This will be another very happy quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou've made a great start. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I really like that light gray as a background.
ReplyDeleteYay Val! This is going to look amazing. I usually avoid curves...
ReplyDeleteCurves, they scare me but after you make that many you will be a pro. Love all your yummy dots.
ReplyDeleteLooking good. Like the background

DeleteThis is going to be so bright and cheery! I'm surprised it's your first light background.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a teaser! Now I want to know what the "trick" is!!!
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics look so happy. Hope they still feel that way to you after all that piecing! :-)

Oh my! I'm a polka dot fanatic. This is gorgeous. I don't envy you the repitition however.
ReplyDeleteI don't think It will be too bad if I squish it inbetween other projects...
DeleteLooks great Val, but "Oh My" is right! 96 of them! You are smart to plan to work on them bit by bit between other projects!
ReplyDeleteOnly 92?! Love this dotty goodness!
ReplyDeleteI took this class last year with Pat (or maybe the year before) and mine is black and white prints mixed with polka dots! I love yours, and will have to dig mine out to work on...
