Country Revival Flower #2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The piecing on this quilt takes a lot of time. I think it is because of the curves. That doesn’t mean it is difficult, just time consuming.<\/p>\n

In the photo, the top left unit is pieced and trimmed. I wasn’t happy with the trimming. I ended up buying the SKOW recommended ruler, Sew Square 6<\/a>**, though, despite my love for specialty rulers, I am fundamentally opposed to specialty square rulers. I would much rather the ruler I already have, the Quick Curve Ruler<\/a>**, be marked well enough so I could trim with it. It isn’t impossible, but I found it to be very difficult. I haven’t decided if I need to make that upper left unit again. I don’t know if I trimmed too close to the green curved shape.<\/p>\n

Except for the bottom row, the rest of the units have been sewn, but not trimmed. You can see how weird looking they are before they are trimmed. I bought the Sew Square 6<\/a>** which I plan to use to trim the other units.<\/p>\n

I didn’t buy the whole set; I just bought this one to see if I thought it was better than just using the Quick Curve Ruler.<\/p>\n

Flower 1 is still unsewn. I am  not 100% happy with the color selection. I bought a few solids, which I am hoping will help fix whatever the problem is.<\/p>\n
