Quilt Pattern Fail, Moving On

  I bought a Quick Curve Ruler in March of 2015(posted about it here) and I purchased fabric to make the Metro Twist Pattern in August of 2015 (posted about that here).   I tested the pattern yesterday.  I found out that I hate sewing curves and I hate trimming what you make with those curves.  It was all too fussy and it wasn't coming out so great.  So I'm calling it a fail and I'm moving forward.

   I settled on the Carpenter's Star pattern for these fabrics.

  It will be pretty easy and this is what it will look like.

  I'm cutting my squares at 8" and with a white border all around should give me a 75" square quilt.

The Quick Curve Ruler

   I bought a Quick Curve Ruler by Sew Wonderful last week (it was on sale at Connecting Threads) because I saw this super cool video tutorial here.

  Here's the link to Sew Wonderful's free pattern pages.  I love this pattern and I can't wait to try my new ruler out.
