Curved Quilt piecing with Robin Pickens

Robin shows curved piecing for quilting like those used in her Partial Eclipse, Mod Flower Box and Beanstalk Quilts. Specialty rulers like Creative Grids Circle Savvy Ruler and Color Girl Classic Curves Ruler are shown. Get pieces ready to sew with pins or glue. Pressing directions and trimming finish up the blocks.
Some things I love to use for curved blocks are:
Smaller rotary cutter
Circle Savvy Ruler by Creative Grids or Classic Curves Ruler from Color Girl Quilts.
Glue from Roxanne
Rotary cutting mat and square rulers in 3 1/2", 4 1/2",5 1/2", 6 1/2", etc square sizes.

I love you pattern and your artistry quilts! ❤❤❤❤

[@teresarobinson7471]

Thank you! I've done one curved piecing quilt, this year I want to do another one and I love your patterns!

[@marywhalen364]

Thank you, Robin. I’ve never seen a better explanation of how to piece curves. I’ve done curved piecing, but I will be much more accurate now.

[@RobinPickens]

Mary, thank you so much! That was so nice of you. I'm glad it was helpful.

[@patriciaallen3138]

very wonderful instructions.

[@Auntie7024]

Love this quilt, Robin. Thank you for sharing the tutorial. ❤😊

[@betssteenkamp1773]

Love, lóve your work. Please come and teach here in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada. 🙃😘😋. I am serious 🤥

[@nadinemerrick1255]

Love your patterns and really enjoyed this video. I sew my curves in the manner that the gals from SewKindaWonderful taught, less fussy and works for me every time (having the curves head in opposite directions and coming together at the needle). I wish more designers would incorporate curves, practice makes them less scary for sure.

[@RobinPickens]

I will have to check out their way of doing it. Sounds really interesting- thanks for the info. I love adding the curves in and yes, once you get going it becomes less scary. I'm happy to hear you'd like to see more quilts with that incorporated.

[@vangiebrake2295]

Great video Robin, very clear instructions. Thanks for sharing. I've never done curved piecing.

[@RobinPickens]

Thanks so much! I recommend trying on a couple scrap pieces of fabric first. It only takes one or two blocks to experiment and find they are not hard. Thank you for watching!

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

Have had the Mod Flower Box pattern in my queue for some time. Love these tips!

[@tsm5031]

Thank you for the great patterns and showing us how to make them.

[@margaretcollins1570]

Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks for sewing curves. I’ve admired your patterns fora while now, but the curves have daunted me. After this, I’ll definitely be giving them a try. Just brilliant.😊

[@tinanelson4325]

WOW!

[@elizabethj9726]

This was a great tutorial for curved piecing! Thank you!

[@sherryfaires7931]

All of your patterns are so magical! I love looking at them! I have a couple of them, but have not tackled the circles yet! Maybe now is the time! Thank you for a great tutorial!

[@tinanelson4325]

Your quilt designs are awesome!. You have a great eye for color coordination. I am enjoying a couple of your cross stich patterns.😊

[@debbiehampton7524]

Thank you. You are a very good teacher.

[@diane3363]

Thank you so much Diane!

[@manuelashannon1369]

Yes, I want to try curves in quilting.

[@RobinPickens]

They are very satisfying to make. I think it gives a lovely soft look to a quilt!

[@roseash6005]

[@maryjones3369]

Fantastic video! I’m ready to try the curves now. Very helpful! Thank you❤️❤️

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Excellent tutorial Robin. I learnt sew much, now to find the glue in France. Love your patterns❤

[@jodiecorke7326]

I am just attempting the curved piecing and found that sewing the convex and concave pieces with the convex on the top and matching the centre and quarter marks was much easier, the blocks were less distorted and no puckers.

[@janehollingsworth8108]

Such helpful information! Thank you for this detailed tutorial.

[@binkjo]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!

[@nancystruble8305]

Thank you! I’m inspired to try your curved patterns!

[@klparker76401]

Thanks for this excellent video! I’ve got the partial eclipse pattern and I have a much better understanding how to do it!

[@linda5278]

Excellent tutorial, instructions!

[@jeanettewithrow9641]

Thank you. That makes sense with the points marked

[@angieh18bart]

thanks Robin, i've just finished piecing up the Mod Flower Box wall hanging which i love, i wanted to learn about curves which i have (brilliantly explained by you) i'm trying to decide how to quilt it now. I've never really done a quilt before , do you generally use a walking foot for the quilting part?

[@victorialopez526]

Hello Ms Robin. I would like to learn curves, and this was a great tutorial. I would like to try one of your beautiful small wall hanging to start. As a beginner with curves, which pattern do you think would be the best for a curve beginner? Thank you so much. Such a fan of your work. ❤

[@katehenry2718]

It looks like you end up with as many scrap pieces as deliberate pieces. Will the scraps fit together for a smaller version? They would be useful even if they have to be trimmed later.
