I know I'm not the smartest person but....
I'm not the dumbest person either. These curve it up blocks are really challenging. I think the blocks would be ok ,and I definitely love the sewing challenge, if the instructions were more user friendly. Tuesday and Wednesday of this coming week we meet again and boy I hope Michelle is ready to clarify instructions. A while back I decided to down size my quilts; I just have too many quilts that are 104" square or in that large range. This quilt will definitely smaller than the designer planned.
How is it that I made this table runner last year with a different curve ruler, no Craftsy.com class on curves and no Michelle to instruct?
This runner is really fun to use and I get compliments from friends and in particular a very choosey daughter! These blocks of the month are driving me nuts. Thank you Michelle for the video and all the effort it took. My issues are with the graphics and some verbiage in the instructions. The pattern for just this quilt is $18, well worth it if the instructions were more conducive to user friendly criteria. I'm not a novice quilter and can generally ready instructions very well, BUT, what does center the QCR over the ...whatever mean? The graphics are too small to really decipher. When talking about "center" is that a calculated number/place or is it a guess that the best of the curve is centered over the points mentioned. The designer did a good job with coordinates (even though I did something wrong) but "center'?
Here are my blocks...so sad.....
How are you all doing? Anyone else frustrated? Rather than redo everything I just downsized the blocks.....might have 12 hot pads when I'm done. The challenge is wonderful, but the pictures showing the placements could be larger, much larger for me....
Here's a fun blog that has some modern dresdens....kwiltzbystephanie...be sure to scroll down.
See you either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.....weather should be better this month!
