어반 버스데이

I was nervous about the curved piecing but the quick curve ruler made it surprisingly painless, even for a beginner like me. The 4 3/4 yards of backing was plenty for the 58 x 77 size, and the 10" squares gave me so many print combinations. Already planning my second one.

The 10" squares made fabric selection way easier than cutting from yardage. I was worried 77 inches would be too long for my wall, but it hangs perfectly and the curve ruler kept every arc consistent. Binding took half a yard exactly as listed, no waste.

I used up a stack of 10" squares I'd been hoarding for a year, and the layout finally gave me a reason to mix all those assorted prints. Yardage for the backing and binding is listed right on the pattern, so I didn't have to guess at the cutting counter.
