Hello all
As if I don't have enough UFO's and other things to keep me busy, my mind is
planning other ideas. Part of it is that I did some more paper piecing over
spring break, fairly successful, and that brought to mind some of this
curved flying geese that I have seen. I have googled until my eyes are
crossed and apparently I am not using the right words. So...
Does anyone know of a link that has the how-to's to draft these lovely
creations? I would like to see what is involved and if I want to try my
hand at it some day.
Yes, I am working on getting some pictures organized and will really try to
post this weekend so you can all see. This weekend is hopefully time to get
lots of little things done and off the list but it will have to all happen
on Saturday as on Sunday the boys will be coming over for dinner and to do
their taxes on my computer. It will be good to see them though.
Thanks
Steven

It's quite easy Steve. Draw your two curves however you want. They can be
equally spaced or diminish to a horizon. Then draw your segments. Again
you can make them as close together or far apart as you want. Place a point
on each segment line and draw a line to each corner of the next segment.
Start paper piecing at one end....I start with the center piece, then do the
sides. Be sure to leave at least 1/4" on the edges of the curve for your
seam allowance.
Here is one I designed and sewed.

hummmm it's been totally finished for quite a while, I guess I should take
a picture of the completed piece.
Maybe this will help you get started.

Thanks
I guess that I never thought of it being that straight forward to do. What
fun this could be.

Wow kathy, that is just amazing. Definitely a photo of the finished
project would be fun. I just never stop being amazed at the talent on
this group.

Oh my, KJ, that quilt is fabulous! It will be a long time before I'm
prepared to try something like that, but I'm so glad Steve asked the
question. Your quilt is very inspiring.
Thanks for including the breyerpatch link too. I've bookmarked it for
future reference.
Best regards,
Michelle in NV
