The pattern calls for you to make your own templates for the curved block. Oooo...that was a stumbling block for me. I really didn't want to cut that many curves with a plastic template. TabSlot to the rescue. Have you heard of this Etsy shop? I was so excited to find it. Jill will custom make templates for you. All I had to do was ask and voila! I had acrylic templates. I would be done cutting by now but I've been sick and doing nothing but napping these past several day.
I wanted to try sewing this curve so played with some scraps. Since this is a corner to corner curve I knew I wouldn't have much room to mess up or I'd have no seam allowance. No problems though. The little blocks sewed up nicely.
This is as "off" as I got:

What a neat looking quilt. Looks like quite the challenge to cut out (even with a template!) Hope it all sews together smoothly for you!
My first thought was- what a curvy quilt, not my idea of fun to stitch. But a closer look shows just a few curvy seams... Feel better and don't get dizzy sewing on those pretty fabrics.
Absolutely gorgeous fabrics and cute pattern. What a great find on the acrylic template site! Have fun!
100 star love it!!!!
Wow, your curlicue quilt is looking amazing! I have this pattern too and waiting to find the perfect fabric like you.
very cool quilt!
Wow, you have really set yourself a challenge. I would love to see a video of how you sew those blocks together. But when you are done you will have a beautiful quilt. Good luck.
this is gonna be such a beautiful quilt Cindy!!! Can't wait to see all the fabrics in person. :)
Look at you sewing so many curves already! That quilt always catches my imagination too. Pretty!
