Ah, so you're the one who got Pam NZ started with the curved ruler! These look great & I want them!! I saw Pam's quilt & had to get the ruler & download the QAL blocks. It's all your fault that I have another must do on my list! Love the color scheme also.

Lol guilty! Her quilts are amazing! I thought they might be too hard for me so I did the QAL to get used to using the ruler. I was surprised at how easy the curves are to sew! I've finished all 12 now and just have to figure out how to sash them, then I have to figure out how to quilt them lol. Always a new challenge!

Thanks! And yes it is! I use to sew a lot when my boys were little and stopped for 15yrs , so I'm not totally inexperienced. I got interested in sewing again when I saw all the cool modern quilts on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try.
