pattern and fabric from Quilters Angel

so pretty...
This month some Block swap member swapped patterns too
This is the fun one I received from Tanya
you can see hers HERE
I've learnt a bit of curves so maybe it's time for foundation paper piecing
Thanks so much for the pattern Tanya - I love bugs! and the fabrics to give me a kick start
Righto..... Gotta Go.... challenges to conquer
Fiona its awesome,well done,love the fabric.xx
ReplyDeleteLove blue and yellow together! Yes, do have a go at foundation piecing- no curves required!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics! I've only ever made ONE curved pieced block - I used my CurveMaster Foot for the first time and loved it. Did you use a special foot?
ReplyDeleteIs it getting cooler out there? I can't wait to visit with my family in Oakey once the cool weather sets in - just love it up there in winter!
Happy Sewing!
Gorgeous fabrics and pattern. Looking really good.
ReplyDeleteOver by the Pond looks a fun pattern. You will master foundation paper piecing. Once you start it is not difficult, and great for doing points
Blue and yellow also look fabulous together.Great quilt top. I have never done curves. Have done foundation peicing and don't like it. Love the frog pattern so have fun.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! You did a marvellous job and the colourway is gorgeous. I love foundation paper piecing. It is my favourite way to piece a block/quilt. I like the accuracy and crispness it gives to the points on blocks.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive work with the drunkard's path blocks. Those curves look pretty good!! Lovely fabric and pattern.
ReplyDeleteWhat are your plans for quilting this beauty?
Some of us just look so good in curves - you definately have a way with them! Tracee xx

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts and wonderful piecing. I need to practice curves too, I want to make an apple core runner.

Gorgeous quilt! And the pattern you received is so cute. I passed on that swap, after seeing your pattern I'm regretting that decision!
ReplyDeleteI used to have that pattern. You'll do fine!
ReplyDeleteYummy, gorgeous, delicious! How clever are you? Did you use a curvemaster foot or just wing it?
ReplyDeleteOh gorgeous Fiona, you did a lovely job on that - see, curves aren't so hard! Love the fabrics you picked. And that new pattern is darling, I can't wait to see that one done - sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love Summer Breeze... I actually started a few quilts with it... oh dear, started but not finished, why is that such a familiar phrase???!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job with the curves! Gorgeous quilt :)
