On the Design Wall....

Despite the beautiful afternoons (Sorry, Boston/Back East friends) we are having, I was able to make some progress on my polka-dots. My husband made my day when he walked in from work and immediately exclaimed: "Oh Wow! Those are cool!" These are my first attempt at curved piecing, but my intimidation of them is fading fast! 
I know I'm having fun as everytime I finish a few I immediately get them on the design wall, anxious to see how they all come together.  With that said, none of them are squared up yet...just a little peek into my process today. I plan to get eight more made and my cutting "homework" done before my final class on Wednesday. As always, thanks for stopping by!

  15. Curved piecing scares me terribly! I think I do not have the patience for it. However, I absolutely love the look in quilts. Your blocks are so pretty. I'll live vicariously through you.
