Spider Web Quilt-Along ~ Cutting Curves with a Quick Curve Ruler

Feeling a bit of fall in the air today!

No, the leaves are not changing here yet.

This photo was taken last fall.

I am just getting ready for sewing for Fall 2014.

I had this post ready to post in September, but I just read this ...

Enjoy the hop!

This is the ruler I use for cutting the curves in my 

Spider Web Quilt-Along 2014

 ~ Cutting The Curves ~

I bought my Quick Curve Ruler

from 

Jenny @ Sew Kind of Wonderful

who created this ruler and has developed a great line of

Patterns

to make using this wonderful tool.

I love this ruler and find it very versatile.

I have used it to cut round corners on a custom table cloth 

for my son's odd shaped table.

I have made my son a runner from the free pattern that came with the ruler.

I have made most of the Curve it Up Quilt-Along blocks

... and need to get these blocks sewn into a quilt top. 

I used this ruler to make the scalloped petal shaped 

table quilts for my daughter's wedding reception tables last year.

I will be using it again this year to cut the curved pieced spider web quilt ...



... and the outside curves of the web.

I am also using it for the "twist" I am spinning on this year's web.

I love this ruler.

If you have another curved ruler or preferred method of cutting curves 

you may want to use your own method for making the spider web.

I might try using a plate if I did not have the quick curve ruler.

If you are sewing the Spider Web Quilt-Along this year 

and choose to use another method, please share your method.  

I love to learn new things.

If you do not have a preferred method of cutting the curves and want to sew a

Spider Web Quilt

you may want to consider adding the

Quick Curve Ruler

to your quilting tools.

I am not affiliated with this business.

These are just my personal opinions.

If you decide to purchase the QCR and give this method a try,

I suggest that you 

watch all of the helpful

Quick Curve Ruler Videos

and maybe try one of Jenny's free patterns, 

such as ... 

Spring Fling Tutorial

or 

Fun Poinsetta Tutorial

... sew a few blocks and get used to using the ruler before 

cutting your spider web top.

I love sewing curves and hope you will, too!
