On a roll....

...or a curve depending upon which way you look at it.

I saw this.

I'm not even going to pretend I was heavily influenced by it.

I wanted to try and copy it.

So I have.

There was a bit of this:


And some of this when I wanted to fussy cut some of the shapes


And then there was quite a bit of this


Which has got me to this


Which will look a whole lot better when my camera is charged and I don't have to take photos on my phone.

Meanwhile I am now distracted by this


I've taken the one remaining jelly roll in my possession which is just a Kona solids one and am slowly working my way through the rainbow of colours, cutting them up into 2 1/2 inch squares and pairing them with an black and white print.

There is no doubt I will be a while.

What do you think?

    Talking to the cows again? Probably get more sense out of them (had to say it first)xxx

  2. Nice curves!
    Easy to sew? Due to the template or the Curves Class?
    What's her (the cow's) name btw?
    I love those big, wet noses!

  9. Fantastic job! Perfect! Love the fabrics you used! ...funny, at Sew Expo the last few days, I would say 9 out of 10 people referred to the Urban Birthday quilt as Wine Glasses? Too bad I don't drink wine ;o) Those triangles are great too!! And the cow...well that's just funny!

  16. Love the curves! Like Kelly I thought of maracas but Hadley's pots are a much better image! Or maybe sweetie dispensers?! Love your HST rainbow strips - can't wait to see what you do with them. Cute cow!
