It involves templates.....and curves....
The thing about templates is it slows down the cutting process. There's no whipping the rotary cutter through strips...nope...it's slow moving around curved templates. Eventually....
the cutting is done....
And the thing about curves is....they slow things down too! I find myself doing things I don't normally do when I'm whipping patchwork through the Bernina.
I'm finger creasing...
and matching creases....
and pinning....
and sewing.....
slowly......
manipulating the curves....
and it's so worth it when you open up the sewing and you have curves!
Yes this new quilt will be slowing things down a bit. It won't be whipped out overnight, and I'm okay with that.
It's good to slow things down sometimes!
Another thing that will slow ME down today as far as sewing progress...a new book!
This is a feast for the eyes!!! I'll be spending lots of today with it!
*Peace!

Yummy fabrics Kim! And I commend you on all that cutting, pinning, etc. Definitely is a slow go, but if really going to be a beauty when it's finished!
Ooooohhhh! I can't wait to see more! I used to do curves. Not anymore though. lol! As for that book -- it's on my wish list! That and many other Kaffe books.
