Curve Roundup • In this issue of McCall’s Quilting, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite designs with curves. Consider that you might create curves with a variety of different techniques—not just the one technique described in the pattern. While curved piecing is an important tool in any quilter’s repertoire, there are several workarounds if you just don’t want to piece them. With a few tips, and a thorough understanding of the alternative options, you can get the look of curved seams without any trouble.
