カーブした蝶ネクタイ（ペーパー）

The curve on this block adds so much more movement than the flat version I've done before, and the paper templates line up perfectly. I was worried the curved piecing would be fussy but it actually came together faster than expected.

I've made traditional bow tie blocks before and always found them a bit static, but adding that curve changes everything — the movement it creates across the quilt top is lovely. The paper templates printed cleanly and the seam lines matched up without any fuss.

The curve in this pattern really does add a whole new layer of movement—my quilt top looks like it's rippling. I love how the paper pieces hold their shape perfectly while sewing the curves.
