Quick Curve Ruler Pattern



Here is a block that I created using Jenny's Quick Curve Ruler. I love this block because the curves create motion and action.  It is also very large, about 26" square.  I have also made a wall hanging to go over my piano. I am working up the pattern and it will be available soon.  This block is called Deco Shimmer!
Here is the finished quiltette with happy turquoise binding.

I am giving this to a friend in Texas (she LOVES purple). This is my version of a label that I sew in when I do the binding, and I can write on both sides.

    Love the Pattern.
    Just ordered Jenny's ruler and patterns from her web site which I saw at the Vendor's Market in Toronot at Quilts in the Park at BlackCreek Pioneer Village in Toronto, Ontario in Canada.
    Cannot wait to start the sewing.
