Sunflowers

My youngest son's teacher gave him some sunflower seeds.  I planted them (with him and he has shown zero interest since) and got this amazing flower.
Then my friend Lisa brought me the Mini Curve ruler book - by Sew Wonderful, which has a beautiful sunflower quilt in it.  I was planning to make another quilt first but wanted to practise my cutting technique...and sewing the curves!
So I made a couple of units from stash...which evolved into these blocks, which in turn became a table runner!
I got totally excited and quilted it! 
Ridiculously pleased with myself!  
Sewing curves is something I have avoided for a long while, but on a roll now...I predict 2019 is the year of curves for me!
Happy quilting Sue.

  3. Certainly you should be pleased with yourself! Your runner is beautiful! Several years ago I used that same curved block in a flag quilt; used my Curvemaster presser foot which made it easy. ---"Love"

  5. What a wonderful runner--and fun that you have your own sunflower as inspiration.
    Great job! Looks like you are a pro already!
    I was very scared of curved seams until I tried them. Not as bad as I expected, but still kind of tricky. :)
