Minimal Day :: Private Drive



When Jonna/@bespokeoutlaw presented this month's Seattle MQG BOM block, Private Drive, I think my jaw dropped and stayed there a while. All sleek and curvy, it was immediately intimidating. But as Jonna encouraged, I shouldn't have worried.



One tip Jonna gave was to place the curvy template on the bias. It must have helped, as I really had no problem with those curves. Another tip was to sew the perimeter of that shape before cutting out the interior portion. That really gave stability to the piece and was good advice.



This is our last block! Next month we'll finally see Jonna's own sample! I'm anxious to see how she quilted it as that is something I've been wondering about all year.

  2. ... and to place the template on the bias. I would never have thought of either tip until it was too late!
