| Curved nine patch quilt on longarm getting quilted |
I am making a "Curved Nine Patch" quilt, using the Quick Curve Ruler and tutorials by Jenny at
Sew Kind of Wonderful. Grey and yellow are my new favorite colors, and the foundation of a sewing room make over. Note my new yellow lamp in the background. I have all the foundation stitching finished, and now can do all the fun and more decorative stitching.
Jenny's new ruler allows you to cut accurate curved pieces that go together perfectly. Jenny's tutorials are clear and easy to follow.

| "Urban Runner" made with Quick Curve Ruler |
The "Urban Runner" is the pattern you receive when you purchase the ruler. I admire Jenny's quilting, so I quilted this in a very similar style to hers. I made this runner with some satin fabric, and realized too late that I should pay closer attention to how I turned the pieces of cut fabric. You can see a few places on the quilt where the satin was turned the wrong way, so the sheen is different that the rest of the quilt. Bummer. While I am not happy with this mistake, I won't worry about it any longer because I made this from left over fabrics, it is just for me, it was a practice for sewing curved pieces, and....I won't do it again.
I'm so glad I came over to your blog! I love your quilts and the Urban Nine Patch is to die for!! I LOVE yellow and gray too!! Nice quilting too...I'm looking forward to seeing it all done up!! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, I am so glad you came to my blog too. As you can see it is brand new, and I am learning as I go. Your patterns, quilting, and blog are all an inspiration to me. I was so nervous to start a blog, but so far so good, and I think it will be a good thing. Thank you for the nice comments.
DeleteWell have fun blogging...don't get to addicted, like me ;o)..I'm waiting impatiently for you to finish the quilt! I would love to put it on the Flikr group...if your not a member..I can add a photo of the quilt for you! I think I'm going to do up the Urban Deco...quilt (the one I make for the pattern) in yellow and gray's...I love this so much!
DeleteI love the curved piecing, it's very cool! And the yellow and grays compliment each other really well. How are you planning to quilt it?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliments. I have it on my quilting frame now. I struggled with how to quilt this one, but am doing some small cross hatching, feathers, and some curved lines. I will try to post some quilting photos this week. Thanks, Esther
ReplyDeleteWow Esther thi sis beautiful...I am constantly amazed at how beautiful yellow and gray go together and yours is the prettiest of all....and just cause a little sheen is different makes that model you did all the more perfect. I know I would be honored to have it in my home....beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour yellow and gray is beautiful - I am about to start a yellow and gray for my guest room. May I ask which fabrics you used? And I'd love to hear more about your longarm machine in a future post - which machine you chose and why and how its working for you. Glad you started your blog!

Hi Pam, I had been collecting yellow and grey for a while, and when I started my quilt I didn't have enough of any one grey, so I used what I had. Here is what I can remember that I used. Michael Miller Ta dot stone, MM citron grey spa Ikat grey, MM quarter dot sunny,MM Mini Mikes dot n square, and Ann Kelle Remix Scatter dot summer. The solid grey was from Fabric.com and was color spectrum grey. I hope this helps. I have an Innova and I love it. More on that later.
