With small curves that are deep, I would do applique. I am a big fan of Jacob Lawerence and look forward to seeing your interpretation.Miki Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903615512823465964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849540346022545171.post-89111910319241693852011-07-20T06:57:53.315-07:002011-07-20T06:57:53.315-07:00Actually, I think you are doing a great job!Actually, I think you are doing a great job!Sandy Panagoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371332247863196830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849540346022545171.post-73188152300415413032011-07-19T14:18:39.891-07:002011-07-19T14:18:39.891-07:00If you go back into the blog posts to find my tuto...If you go back into the blog posts to find my tutorial on piecing the leaves for my Virtual Bee Leaves top, I take you on a curved pieceing journey. It is a gentle curve and everyone who tried it was successful in doing really nice leaves!<br /><br />Start large and get smaller!<br />glenGlen QuiltSwissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663112676927847239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849540346022545171.post-29114471156157994532011-07-19T13:59:40.591-07:002011-07-19T13:59:40.591-07:00She looks perfect as she is...maybe try piecing wi...She looks perfect as she is...maybe try piecing with straight seams.

I agree with Irene. Applique... Practice your small curves 15 minute a day.. ;-) on your scraps... I love what your working on already. and also, I am a big fan of Jacob Lawerence. good luck!Victoria Findlay Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251128530307420200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849540346022545171.post-47400043242745549412011-07-19T09:58:54.511-07:002011-07-19T09:58:54.511-07:00Applique may be the best option.

Then cur on this line. Use "registration" marks to locate critical parts of the curve. Pin right sides together on these marks. It will be very wavy. But start at one end and sew to the pin, remove the pin, sew to the next.... May be a little wavy but the iron is your friend. Good luck, looks like you have a challenge ahead of youIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480168196174544125noreply@blogger.com
