At the beginning of May I signed up for the first time to #bravequilter over at Pink Doxies. My challenge was:
my goal is to try making a block using curved piecing, with my Quick Curve Ruler
It's taken until the second to last day of the month but I have completed my challenge!!! Drumroll please ....
I watched the videos on Sew Kind of Wonderful's site, over here, found my QCR lurking under a huge pile of fabric and set to. It worked, it was so easy, I sewed a curve and without pins!!!! Can you tell I am rather excited?
To ensure it wasn't a fluke, I made a second ....
Then I got all ahead of myself and started piecing more curves together ....
I'm not a big buyer of rulers and gadgets but, after seeing what you could do with a Quick Curve Ruler on the web, I decided to purchase one. I bought the ruler last November and was so excited to unpack it but then it got put on the shelf, covered with other things and time marched on. Why do some things take so long to try? I love the look of all of the quilts I have seen made with the QCR and am so happy that it worked just like promised.
Due to the fact that I signed up to #bravequilter I knew I would retrieve the ruler and try it out this month. With that in mind I treated myself to a book at Quilts UK the other week and am now even more excited about diving into one of these projects.
Is there any one ruler you would recommend or can't live without? I would love to know. x
