One night while surfing blogs I ran across Sew Kind Of Wonderful by Jenny Pedigo. I was immediately drawn to her curvy quilt patterns that you can see on the right hand side. LOVE them. I told my boss about them (these quilts are so Pink Chalk!)...and funny thing was Kathy had just found them too! Long story short...Kathy ordered the rulers and now carries the patterns. I bought a ruler but can't decide which quilt pattern to get so haven't yet.
Jenny recently created a new block called "Urban Nine Patch" that uses the ruler. She posted a free tutorial on her blog for making it and I figured that was the perfect way to learn the ruler and get more practice sewing curves. So today I made one.
Here it is:
So gorgeous! I totally love this. And it turned out perfect.
Totally perfect points see:
And it's perfectly 12.5 inches. I followed the tutorial to the "t" and everything was great. Jenny sews her curves differently than I learned years ago (and different from Rachel's teaching in the Curves class)...by sewing with the convex piece on top instead of the other way around. I did it Jenny's way and it worked fine for this block.
I think I will be making this block for my [3x6] Mini Bee members. :)

Outstanding! Love the fabrics you used and I'm glad you had fun putting it together! If you have Flikr...you should add it to the Urban Nine Patch QAL group ;o)

I love the fabrics you chose! All because of you, I now can't wait to get my ruler and try it out :-)
