Curvy Star

I really like Philippa Naylor’s classes! I took another one in November, 2011, this time on techniques of curved piecing. As so often happens, though, I only finished the center portion in class and let it languish in my pile of “to-dos” until April, 2012. At that point, I decided to add the borders, quilt it and finish it up. So I did! 🙂

Curvy Star Quilt

This one is about 21″ square, though “square” is obviously not a consideration here. 😉 This was only the second time I’d done double corded piping next to the binding, and I think it turned out rather well. It’s entirely machine pieced and quilted. Below is a detail of the piping. Because of the curved edges, all of the piping and the binding were done with bias cuts.

Update! This quilt won third place in the quilt show sponsored by our local guild in April, 2013. Ummm … it’s hanging sideways here. 😉
