"Steam Punk"

"Steam Punk Quilt"

Let me just get this out there......
"I am scared of curved piecing..."
but you know that as my Glacier Star Quilt is "testing" me and my patience.


But I love the look of this quilt but the curved piecing ... OMG what am I getting myself into?

A quick "refresher", these are the fabrics that I am going to play with whilst making this one.


and here are the start of my blocks ...

Block 1


Block 2

Block 3

Block 4

I think I have another 6 or so cut and sitting beside my machine ready to go when I'm ready to be tested!

Oh well that's another WIP started, I wonder what the secret is to finishing something? :)

hugs Sharon

  2. Fantastic pattern, and honestly, if you can do Glacier Stars, this will be no trouble. Circular blocks seem to be very popular at the moment, and they look great done in modern or more traditional fabrics.

  17. I have been trying hard to resist this one! Not worries about your curves, I'd say!! ;-)) I think the secret to not starting anything new is to stay off blogs and IG! Stay away!
