Summer Sampler 2016 Block 9: Curves Block

 So, I admit, I thought I wouldn't enjoy Summer Sampler Block 9. It's beautiful, of course, but I mean, look at all those curves. Ugh, right? But I was pleasantly surprised! These curves aren't as tight as the ones in the Trail Crossing block, so they're actually a bit easier to sew, and I had a lot of fun with this one. I still struggled a bit getting things to line up (or at least as close as possible to line up), but eventually I got it close enough. 😂

This is also the first time I've really deviated from the Summer Sampler quilt block graphics that you've all seen. I decided a little color gradient was in order for this block, and went for it. I'm happy I did! I love how it turned out.

Can't wait to see everyone's Curves Blocks on Instagram, under the hashtag #summersampler2016. And if you want to join us in making the Summer Sampler 2016, you still can! In fact, you could even start in the middle and catch back up on the blocks you missed later—we're laid back like that. 😊 Click here to subscribe to Summer Sampler 2016 - all new subscribers get immediate access to all blocks that have already been released.
