jclark Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have a huge quilt on the frame that is just a mass of stars and nine patches. I decided to do continuous curves (mistake, it will take me forever) and just could not get the path right, way too many stops and starts. Was awake at 3am fretting over this quilt and decided this morning to solve my dilemma! I vaguely remembered something Dawn said in my Beginning Quilting class two years ago about a house and continuous curve. Well, I got out the class outline and my notes and the first sentence I read was, "finish one floor before going to another," and the light bulb went off! After all that I went to town and got a massage! THANKS Dawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Oh, the massage sounds wonderful! And Dawn really is a jewel! I'm still using tips she taught at a class three years ago at MQS. I'll think of you while I'm doing my denim monster! One floor at a time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jclark Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Dawn says, "treat continuous curve as if it were a house, conquer each obstacle (stairs, ceilings, walls) as you go finishing one floor before going to the next. When you are trying to do continuous curve without stopping and starting I repeat this little ditty to myself and it keeps me on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
