Turquoise and Gray

Back in August I started working on this quilt

using the

Quick Curve Ruler

and the Metro Rings pattern.

For a while I had been collecting turquoise/aqua/teal fabrics,

along with various shades of gray

for this quilt.

I love how they look together.

In August I had 16 blocks finished and debated

on stopping there and making a baby quilt.

The other day I decided I want this quilt to be bigger.

I don't know how much bigger, but bigger at this point.

Out came the bin of fabrics and the piecing began.

Using this ruler speeds the cutting process up tremendously

and it's used for almost every aspect in making this block.

It has taken me a while to get used to cutting with it

and I finally have it figured out...

I think!!

 

 

The only problem I have is with the accuracy of where the

curved pieces end up in the block....

how far they are from the straight edge.

I'm not sure if it's from the pressing,

which distorts things a bit,

or if it's my piecing,

or a combination of the two!

 

I have learned from one of my quilt group buddies to

not point out my mistakes,

so I won't.

And once it's all together,

they aren't that noticeable anyway! 

There are 14 more blocks needed for the size I'm thinking of,

so block construction will continue.

Happy Quilting!
