I named this quilt “Curvy Cabins” and took a class to learn this curved piecing technique in September of 2017 at Quilt Etc. in Sandy. I cut out all the pieces before the class, then sewed up two blocks during the class to learn the technique. My instructor helped me get all the pieces for the remaining blocks sorted out into piles so that I just had to start sewing blocks at home. It went together quite quickly and then I worked on the curved seams. I finished the top and took it back to Quilt Etc. for quilting on Halloween and got it back from them just before New Year’s. So I got the binding almost sewed on in 2017 and finished the last yard of hand-sewing it down in early May because I set it aside and worked on other things.
The free pattern is called “Yin and Yangish” by EE Schenck Co. and lends itself to any color scheme. It finished at 61″x68″. It uses 10 fat quarters of each color, so I selected prints that I liked together. Here’s the ones I know that had selvages with attributions.

I pieced the back using leftover strips and ran a horizontal strip of the random pieces through the gray backing.
It was quilted with gray thread using the pattern “Bossa Nova” by Urban Elementz at Quilt Etc.
