How To Sew Curves In Quilting Block? – Project Case Study Part 3

These curved pieces appeared to be a little more difficult to work with, and there it is hanging on the flannel wall.

It wasn’t because they were curved, but rather because the point made it difficult for me to figure out exactly how I was going to sew them together.

It was Stephanie who ultimately uncovered the most efficient approach to take. When she finally admitted it, it was plain to see.

At the point where the curve transitioned from one side of the block to the other, she cut the block in half to create two separate sections.

In order to finish the block, you will first need to sew the pieces that belong to each of the sections together, and then you will need to sew the halves of the block together.

Fold one section on top of the other so that the right sides are facing each other, beginning with the two pieces at the bottom of the stack. I decided to fold the section with the pieced fabric on top of the batik fabric in yellow. By doing things in this way, I was able to keep track of the seam allowances on the pieced section and ensure that they all faced the same direction consistently.

In the sense that there were little dog ears protruding out, it appears to be very similar to sewing two triangles together.

One of the most important distinctions is that the only portion of the raw edge that can be aligned is a segment that is about half an inch long. After that, the pieces will start to curve and will no longer be aligned properly.

This block will be pieced together using the same method as the first block, which was constructed using the pink batik with a wavy pattern. You will need to adjust the fabric as you sew by bringing the unfinished edges of the fabric together and moving it around so that it can pass under the needle in a straight line.

In doing that, you will create little bubbles and tunnels. Just remember to keep the seam allowance flat so that you don’t end up sewing in any puckers or tucks as you work.

The trick is to maintain a flat edge so that you don’t stitch any puckers or pleats into the seam when you’re finished.

When you have finished stitching the first seam, proceed to follow the same steps to stitch the other section together.

After you have completed sewing together both halves of the block, you can move on to stitching the center seam, at which point your block will be finished.

When folded, the right sides should be facing each other. Fold one half on top of the other. Beginning the process of sewing the halves together with the seam in the center will ensure that the center seams are aligned properly.

Insert the needle of your sewing machine into the fabric about half an inch before the point where the seam allowances meet.
After aligning the edges of the two sections, start sewing, making sure to leave a seam allowance of a quarter of an inch.

Due to the fact that the pieced block is on the underside, I need to keep an eye on the seam allowances on that section to ensure that they continue to face in the same direction they did before.

After the first half of the seam has been stitched from the block’s center to the edge, remove the pieces from the machine and continue the process by stitching the second half of the seam from the block’s center to the edge.

The block has been completed! Actually, it’s not too difficult.

This finished block is a rectangle, and the edges do not line up; the batik is longer than the pieced sections. However, the batik is shorter than the pieced sections. Before the quilt can be sewn together, these will need to have their edges trimmed.
