Happy Monday! It’s time to reveal the SAHRR Round One for this week. Anja Quilts is the host for today, and you can find her post here. Anja has chosen curves for the first border. Curves are one of my favorites, so let’s take a look at my border.
I chose to go with a gentle wavy curve border, and added curved setting squares. All of this was done with just my rotary cutter, no templates or rulers. I’m very happy with the way it turned out.
I learned how to cut my wavy curves from Jean Wells in one of her books. You can find her method on YouTube by searching “improv curves Jean Wells”. I may write up a tutorial on my method, so watch for a future post.
Don’t let curves scare you. Be creative when thinking of how you can add curves for this border. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Don’t forget that Anja is hosting the linky party for the SAHRR Round One this week. You can see all of the host blogs linked up there. Be sure to link up your post when you reveal your Round One border!
Happy sewing, all!
Wendy
Wooow, looks so good, Wendy!!!
I love your corner units!!! The one in the lower left looks like a sunset. These solids are so bright, this is a very fun quilt.
So cool! Your piece has such energy!
Love the look and so smart to connect your waves to corner blocks – very pretty!
When I saw that Anja had chosen curves as the first border, I was really looking forward to your version, and you did not disappoint! Your border is wonderful and has so much movement.
It is looking interesting – i wonder what will be next – i will be watching
I like what you did with the curvy border!
Good morning, Wendy! Your improv piece is really turning into something very cool. I love the addition of the curved borders but the curved setting corners knock it out of the park for me. Great job! I can’t wait to see where this is headed. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
I like those corners. What size is your block now?
I love this, Wendy! The curves frame your center block perfectly. It’s so fun to look forward to Mondays because of the SAHRR posts, but now my head is full of ideas… I can’t wait to get to my sewing room!
Beautiful! I love all that color.
ooooo this is way cool
This is just right up your alley with all the curves! Love how this is coming together:)
You have a wonderful, really modern look to your block. I love it. I’m looking forward to seeing what else you do!
I am loving your wonky block and wonky curves! Great work!
Your improv curves frame the center beautifully!
I admit…I am not an improv fan. You may just change my mind with this project, Wendy! I love the bright and fresh and fun look of this one! 🙂
Wow, the improv is so cool!! Curves are not my thing, but I shall try them! Maybe for the corners!!
It’s marvellous! So happy and flowy!
Super cute, Wendy!!
Wow, pretty curves and round #1! I love your project!
Love your borders! And the cornerstones are very clever! Well done!
Wow. That is awesome!
Really like the curves, looking really great.
Very bold and bright! I’m not a fan of curves, but yours turned out beautifully.
Love the curvy borders and cornerstones. You know I’d love to see a tutorial on this. These colors are really so much fun; so excited to see the next round!
You have really pulled this off beautifully. It is going to be a stunning quilt.
Love it Wendy, especially the way to pieced the corners. 🙂
What an exciting quilt you are making!! Wow!!
