I tell you, I am obsessed with this Quick Curve Ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful! I keep wanting to try it out on pattern after pattern. Just so you know, I bought my own Quick Curve Ruler and am not being compensated by Sew Kind of Wonderful in any way. My opinions are going […]
I have completed 16 hoop blocks for my Metro Hoops project, using the Quick Curve Ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful. I have to admit I earned a few more grey hairs when I started this project, but am happy to say I persevered and with the help of a smarter-than-me reader, licked the issues […]
After a super busy week, I was able to sit down for a couple of quiet hours on Sunday and sew my rows together on Urban Winter. The quilt top is now a flimsie. (Is that how you spell flimsie, or is it flimsy?) I am very pleased with how well this pattern went together. […]
I am so thrilled with this quilt! It only has one major problem, and that is that I didn't make it twice as big. It was beautifully quilted by Mary of Quilt Hollow, and I don't think I could be any crazier about how it turned out. Zoom in if you can and take […]
I got cracking on my one free afternoon this week and made 30 more Metro Hoops units. I still need to attach the corner triangles and square things up, but I am stalled until the extra brown corner fabric arrives. I had no issues with the curved piecing or trimming up the little shield shapes […]
Since I was frustrated with my progress on Metro Hoops, I decided to try a simpler pattern, without any corner triangles to line up. I pulled some pretty lavender blues from my stash and started cutting pieces for the Urban Winter pattern, also by Sew Kind of Wonderful, using the Quick Curve Ruler. Oh.my.goodness. Did […]
Now that is what I am talking about. Thank you Liz A. I won't lie, I have been grievously challenged by this Metro Hoops pattern, using the Quick Curve Ruler. As much as I love the Quick Curve Ruler and the look of Sew Kind of Wonderful patterns, I was finding the square up […]
My mission lately has been to get some of my many flimsies quilted. This one arrived just in time for the 4th of July! This little quilt is called Dulcinea, a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. It is hot off the longarm machine of Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow. I am wishing you […]
Thank you to all of you who have sent me such helpful suggestions on how I might make my corner triangles align more accurately in my Metro Hoops project, using the Quick Curve Ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful. My blocks are flat, they are squaring up to a perfect 8 inches, but those darn […]
I am doing the best I can here with this QCR project, Metro Hoops. Here are three components of each block unit. A strip set, cut into a curved shape with the Quick Curve ruler, and two side pieces, also cut with the QCR. All you have to do is sew them together so you […]
