Curved Piecing & Glue Basting

Elmers Glue and Sharon Schamber's glue tips are one of the great combinations of the 21st century. If its good enough for Sharon Schamber it must be good enough for me!Her daughter Christy Fincher has information on her web page.

My friends are horrified but glue is much more difficult to lose than pins are and glue doesn't hurt you.




I still like the Pilot's Wheel block but it requires a high degree of execution  so I thought about something simpler but still using curves






How about a lifebuoy (life preserver in the US?)



curved piecing or Dresden plate?



Double wedding ring with interlinked lifebuoys?



I made one block using the Dresden Plate method, I like it ( it isn't really crooked) but I am not sure how it would be in a quilt too simple and modern for me I think. Also it looks too much like a polo mint.


Mmmm what next? Revisit the Pilot's Wheel I think.
