I found something last week that i have to share with you. i'm not even sure how i got to this blog....but sure glad i did. go look at www.sewkindofwonderful.com Jenny created a new ruler that cuts curves with your rotary cutter. and she has awesome patterns to use that ruler with, too.
She shares how to make her Urban 9 patch block....here it is.
Isn't that the coolest thing since sliced bread? i just love those curves.
Of course, don't look at my bottom corners. i didn't QUITE get those to match up. but this was my first block. it's a bit tricky to understand just where to cut to get it right. but i believe i will improve with practice. and i think these primary colors will make a great baby quilt.
This comes out to a 12.5" block. it took me a couple hours to complete it....but that was cutting and figuring out instructions. once i cut those arches out of the 9 patch....it was like WOW!....how cool is that. you don't realize how exciting that is until you do it. i wasn't sure i could sew those curves easily but it truly wasn't hard. just a bit fiddley.
Oh...and Jenny's customer service is superb. when i got my ruler...it came broken. i belive our postal people out here in the sticks are gorillas. i let Jenny know it was broken but i thought i could glue it back....she immediately shipped out another ruler to me. .... no questions...no problem. and that one got here just fine. thank you, Jenny, for great customer service and a great product.
Don't know when i will make more of these blocks....since i have other pressing issues at the moment....but just had to try a block. now it will live in my mind and marinate until it pops back up
