Thank you so much Gini for the kind review. I’m really glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for choosing to try curves without pins.

I loved every minute of it! I’ve just gone in and bought the sunflower pattern as well!

Just love this design – from a distance the centre ‘blocks’ look like owls peeking out. Tempted to try one!

Another amazing pattern by Jenny and another ‘no pins’ convert for curves!!!

Lyn Butler wrote a new post, Marmite anyone? 7 years, 10 months ago
Foundation piecing is a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it…well I love it…FPP that is..not Marmite.. well I don’t exactly hate it but it just sits in the cupboard next to the 5 Spice.. just how long…

Not keen on marmite(or 5-spice, as we had an elderly bottle of it that I only threw out last year…) however I absolutely adore FPP and have used it to make some beautiful quilts! Thanks for spreading the word about it!

Karin…thankyou

That is a really nice design Lyn. Thank you. I often wonder if I should whip out my camera and take pics of tiles….

Thankyou so much Maggie

Lovely pattern Lyn, came together beautifully, going to try it with Christmas fabric, and one of my daughters wants me to make her one in red tones!

Mmmmm…red tones will be lush…big thanks for pattern testing x
