Month 3 Arcs

[Margo]

I have been paper piecing the month 3 arcs. Thanks for the great video, Margo! Very helpful! Last night while working on my arcs I made a boo boo and took off the paper before marking the dots. I decided to made a plastic template with holes punched and it worked much easier than the paper to make the dots!!!!

Denise, adding the extra large seam allowance will work for this month, but probably not so much for adding the assembled arcs to all four sides of the background fabric on the units where we will do the applique.

And you are right about lots of ways to do things. I'm thinking that the Piec-lique method may work better when we get to those units. I'll be interested to see what method Sue Nickels and Pat Holly recommend!

Well I finally tried to piece them this weekend, talk about being behind!!! But I'm happy to report that I was able to pin and sew slowly and it worked perfectly.

For the applique blocks, I can always resort to Plan B and applique them or baste first then sew. I was most encouraged the way they turned out. YAY me!
