About 3 years ago, my friend Leigh gave me some fantastic vintage applecore blocks she found discarded at a thrift or antique store. They were already cut and ready to piece.
I'll admit, piecing with curves takes some practice. My first couple of rows are not perfect. But I'm sticking to my mantra of 2015 to stop over-analyzing and just get stuff done. And as I've been going, I'm definitely getting the hang of it and each row is looking better! I want to just keep going!
Anglea has offered a copy of Sewing Techniques for Accurate Curved Piecing to give away to one of you! Just leave a comment to enter. I'll pick a winner next Wednesday. GIVEAWAY CLOSED
WINNER: HeatherK @ A Reformed Heath'nFebruary 6, 2015 at 1:57 PM

I would love to learn how to do those intimidating curves, too! Thanks for the give away.<br />
Karen N
I'd love to make a quilt like that someday. It looks so great!
Sorcha girl
Thanks for the review, Amy. The apple core quilt is looking fantastic on your design wall. Lovely idea your friend had when giving you the blocks. Thanks for a chance in the giveaway. I'd use the DVD for my projects.
Karen - Quilts...etc.
I would love a copy - I just picked up an apple core template and was thinking scrappy -
Lynda
everytime I read about someone's find in an antique store, garage sale, or second hand store I am envious.<br />I would love to be able to work with curves but hesitate doing so - maybe this DVD would give me the push I need.
Muzikal Mama
It's funny, I've never really felt scared of sewing curves, but then I hear over and over how difficult it is and how people don't like it, and then I feel like I should be afraid! I love finding new ways to make things less scary and easier. 🙂
Skootchover
Love your apple cores. I have Angela's book and really like it. I'd love to complement the book with the DVD. Thank you for the giveaway.

Curved sewing is very addicting. I'm just trying to figure out what to do with all the scraps! Thanks for the giveaway!
delwak
I have never done a curved piece block ! I should give it a try !
karenf
I have several curved piecing WIP's. I definitely need the encouragement. Thanks.
Debbie
Love your quilt. This is a skill I need to learn.
roberta mill
I love curved pieces-especially apple core and drunkards path. I could definitely use hand holding!
Anita
I would love to get more confident in sewing curves, and this DVD could help me with that!
Nena
Wow! Amazing - I need a skill builder! Thank you Amy!
Sue Burkitt
Beautiful quilt. Can't wait to see it finished. Curves scare me.
LindaS
Curves scare me, I have avoided them like the plague. Maybe this is what I need to face that fear head on. Can't wait to see how your quilt comes out, so far so good. I like it. <br />dragonfly9716 at yahoo dot com

I would love to learn how to piece curves. This book sounds great.
gram k
Scary curves! Would love some "handholding"!
hiyacinth
Your quilt is spectacular! And what a lucky find those pieces were! I'm glad someone didn't just throw them away!
Svetlana
Your blocks look amazing. Thanks for the chance to win this fantastic DVD.
Marly
Your apple core quilt is looking good, even though there is such a mixed bag of fabrics. I'd love to be able to sew curved pieces evenly, and achieve such a result.
SuzyMcQ
Oh, I've had my eye on this video since I heard about it and would love to win...and, then would actually attempt a curved pattern quilt! Thanks for the opportunity!
Lindsay S
Love your blog!
Hapi2Run
I'd love to learn about curved piecing! Thank you for the opportunity.

I'm always a little hesitant with curves. I'd love to have a "pro" to refer to for moral support.
Jenny B
This is brilliant! Thank you for the chance to win!
Tashi
I love your style of quilting and fabric choices!! I am so addicted to quilting. Thank you for sharing.
Nellie Duclos
I really NEED this as I have started Arabian Nights from Angela's book and the pining is overwhelming! We are in the process of remodeling our Spanish Revival home that the former owners fought between Craftmen and Italian. We are taking it back to its "bones/roots." I am hoping to have several quilts completed by the time the house is finished remodeling and we are prepared to
Suellen Franze
Count me in! I love curves.
Marlies
Love the vintage fabrics! I just started an applecore quilt by hand. Would love the book for more ideas!
Anne
Good mantra-I will keep going too- thanks for the encouragement
Beady Zoo
(This may be a duplicate; my first comment disappeared.) <br /><br />Your apple core quilt is pulling together nicely. And I really like your "stop over-analyzing and just get stuff done" mantra! Curved piecing does seem too difficult for me, but Angela's DVD (or book) would get me going in the right direction.
Janet M
I love Angela's book and think the video would be so helpful. Great idea!
DebrafromMD
I could use some instructions on how to piece curves.
HeatherK @ A Reformed Heath'n
What an awesome resource! I don't mind curved piecing with my handwork, but I've not done much with my machine. I'll definitely look for the Mixology book and check it out. Thanks for the chance to win!
Di
That would be a great skill to improve, I avoid curves as much as I can. I have my eye on a couple of curved designs but have been put off by my dodgy skills .... Many thanks
Carley Biblin
Wow! Her designs look fabulous. I would love to learn that, especially since straight line piecing doesn't always get the look you want. Thanks for the giveaway.
Carol D
Curves are so scary.....I need help!
Nancy Evans
What a great find and good friend. I tried curved piecing in the past with mixed results so I welcome new information and ideas about using the blocks. Thanks for the opportunity and the information.
DeniseMarie
I've got an old quilt that my grandmother made (I think) that has the exact same pink and orange flowered pattern - it's one of my favorite vintage-fabulous fabrics!
Ali w
Yesterday I made my first Drunkard's Path project and now I feel ready to tackle apple cores so this video would be perfectly timed for me! I have A Quilter's Mixology and find it inspirational

I just put together my first quilt using curves. It was intimidating. I would over to learn new techniques

This is just what I needed to get me back on one of my own WIP's that I need to get finished. Curves intimidate me too!
greeneggs
Im just doing a New York Beauty quilt. Boy, could I use some help with the curves. Thanks for a great giveaway.
Becky
Nice! I wish I could find precut vintage fabric at the thrift store. Quilts with curves are so fun.
Rhonda Davis
This year is my year to learn new technics and to "make art" every day. So learning to do curved piecing fits the bill.
Amy
I love Angela's book, and would love to have the video to go with it. Her curved piecing is just beautiful!
Dianne W
I would love to make quilts like these but would be far too scared to try it without the DVD to replay again, again and again.
Deb
Love to watch any quilting dvds. I'd love to be part of your giveaway. Beautiful project!
Becca
I really love her book, but could use some help with the technique, that's for sure!

I want to sew curves.... It's the learning curve that stops me. Thanks for sharing
Lisaluvz2kwilt
I need this NOW!!! I started sewing The January Quilt, by Liz Harvatine. It's a beautiful pattern, but it's curved! Up until now, I've avoided curves like the plague, or used a "cheater" method to produce the same results. When it comes to curves, I feel very hesitant and unsure of myself. I feel just liek a first-time quilter, and I've been quilting for almost 28 years!
Jenelle
Any tips on sewing curves are always welcome! Thanks for the fun giveaway.
Julia
Sweet! Thanks for the giveaway.
Allison C
Would Love to check this out
allypally
I've always wanted to know how curves are done!!
Tamie
Love your choice to just keep going and to get better along the way.
DKay
Amy - your vintage Apple core looks really sweet and is probably the exact way the original owner of the pieces envisioned it. I know sewing those curves can be tricky. A couple of years ago I made an apple core Halloween table runner.
Mary
I have been sewing and quilting for many years but have always steered away from quilt like drunkard's path and apple core because of the dreaded curves. I think this book would be very helpful for me. Thanks!
quiltonia
I have done some curved piecing but Amy's guidance is much needed for better results. Thanks for the chance to win this book.

I just finished my first curved piecing quilt! It's probably one of my favorite - would love help in doing more!

Dying to try curved piecing!
Laurelle
I love those apple cores. The fabrics are cute. I have just made a quilt from Angela's book . I was scared of curves but not anymore 🙂 I still need practise but I loved it so much I started sewing up the curved scraps and am making a circle improv quilt. I'm having so much fun with it. I think if anyone out there hasn't tried curves, they should just go for it! 🙂
Catherine
I have the book but I still need the video. Thank you for a chance to win!
Beth
This sounds great. And your blog post is a great reminder to me to just dive in. I tend to endlessly research rather than begin something new.
magistra
It is really great to see those Apple cores get made into a cute quilt. Thank heavens they weren't thrown away? I love the mixture of fabrics! I have never sewn a curve but I have often admired them! It would be wonderful to have a video's help! Magistra13 at yahoo dot com <br />Beth
KathleenD
I would dearly love to watch Angela's DVD about curved piecing! I've bought her Quilter's Mixology book, which is wonderful. But, I'm a visual learner and believe this DVD would be very helpful to me. I love the look of softness and movement she creates with curves.
Patti Hanson
I'm a beginner quilter with an Irish chain, nine patch, and a rail fence quilt under my belt but my aspirational quilt is a drunkard's path. I love the Moroccan motifs you can make with it. Like you, the curved piecing is scary for me. Help is definitely needed.
Margo Yang
I love piecing curve pieces together. I've done drunken path once and love to do it again.
sue godfrey
Lovely blocks. I too am scared of curves and would love to win. Beautiful blog site, I'm addicted to it, so much inspiration.

Well done on a beautiful quilt and a new technique, I've just made my first drunkards path mini quilt, and found my piecing definitely got better as I went on! I'm off to Quiltcon next week and will add this gorgeous looking book to my shopping list 🙂

Very cute quilt you made. Thanks for the fun contest

Swedish Scrapper
I love your description of vintage fabulous vs vintage hideous! You need both, in my opinion-- the hideous is a perfect foil for fabulous, as long as it isn't a bad weave. I have been working up to watching videos for instruction. I think it is wonderful, but I have been "saving the best for last" for a few years now. I love the sample quilt and Angela's workshop looks
Lorraine
I, too, am a little afraid to try curved piecing without some solid instruction, so this DVD would be a great help!

Tammy Muscato
What a lucky find! And very sweet of your friend to buy the pieces for you! The vintage patterns are great and you're doing an amazing job, can't wait to see it finished. I've been wanting to try a quilt with curved pattern for a long time! I've down loaded so many patterns, even bought material for a clam shell quilt and an apple core! But that's as far as I have gotten, it

It is so neat when you take an old find like that and make something with it. I love it! I have never tried curved piecing but I am just about at the point where I feel I could take it on with some studying up on it. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love it when I find a treasure at the thrift store!!! Great job on the apple cores, they would scare me!! I would love the DVD to give me some curve confidence!! Thanks!!

I love recycling thrift stores finds. The apple core is so sweet. Haven't tackled curves yet, maybe I need the dvd to boost my courage and motivation.
Montymoo
Curves scare me! I'd love some help getting over the fear. Your apple core quilt is an inspiration!
Kath
Actually, I cringe every time I see a pattern with curves and turn away as fast as possible. It's unfortunate tho, because there are some very fun blocks using curves. Maybe this give-away is perfect timing for me (cue Hallelujah Chorus.)? I'm not familiar with an apple core so looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
Nancy
This looks like a great DVD... thanks for the giveaway....
Debra@Quilty Things
Love your apple core project. I passed on a chance to buy a large bag of precut cores at my lqs clearance sale because I was unsure of my ability to finish the project. Angela's DVD is the key to me to suceed in crossing apple cores off of my bucket list. Thanks for the chance to win.

Angela is so awesome. Curves are definitely on my to-do list this year!

Ann Dunn
I avoid curves. That said, I would like to overcome my fear of failure. Thanks for having the giveaway.
Rebecca
Some one somewhere said (more then once I am sure ) 4 to 6 fabrics that don't work just don't work. 20 to 40 fabrics that don't work work fine. Or words to that effect!
Melanie
I have her book so the video would be a great companion!

I'm just dipping my toe into the curved piecing waters so to speak, so the timing of this video is perfect!

Those fabrics are going to make such a beautiful scrappy quilt. There's nothing better! Thanks for the opportunity.

I have a plastic template that I am using to cut my own apple cores. Not so much fun. I sew some of these on the machine and some by hand. I love how your top is looking. I would love a chance for her book.

Your applecore is coming together beautifully! I've been enamored with the clamshells lately and would definitely need some hand holding to attempt it.

I've often admired the apple core photo in your blog banner. The blue aster-y fabric is so sweet. I'd assumed you'd done an apple core quilt a long time ago. I just received an apple core, drunkard's path and wedding quilt dies for my accuquilt go cutter so this post is so timely! I am looking forward to checking the links later with a cup of tea. Thanks!

OPQuilt
This is a fan note. I've been to several of those other blogs listed on the schedule, and then I came to yours. It is a refreshing post, as you weave the information about the video and curve piecing into your apple core narrative, without hitting us over the head with "buy this"! This is not intended to a be a criticism of other blogs, just a celebration of yours. Thank you!<br

Those vintage fabrics will be so fun. Yay for learning curved piecing!

Want to add curved piecing to my techniques....thanks for the recommendation!

Curves have scared me for years. I love the apple core quilt with the vintage fabrics and can't wait to see it completed.

Your apple cores look great, Amy. I love the look of curves but always avoid them as they look too hard. Sounds like the perfect book. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
Mary Ellen
I made Drunkards Path baby quilt for one of my granddaughters when she was born. It actually turned out well. So, I thought, I can do an applecare quilt. Well, I guess I was overconfident because the applecare didn't turn out at all. Thanks for the giveaway!
SuBee618
Thank you for this opportunity. I would love to learn to sew curves with confidence. Love the apple cores and happy to see them all coming together.

I have curves. Now, perhaps, I should learn to sew them. 🙂

Thank you, Amy! You can so naturally inspire us! I also have to give a try to curved piecing. Your apple core blocks look great! You are so lucky that you got that package. Can't wait to see how it will look in the end!

What a find! Vintage Apple core pieces! I never find anything so interesting or usable! Looks great!
Annemieke
Sounds fun, a whole book off curved patterns. Your apple cores look lovely. I too have a small pile of those and still not sewn together, but may be I will now:)<br />Groetjes (from The Netherlands, not sure if I can join in because of the distance)<br />Annemieke

Weird...was thinking the other day I hadn't seen a post from you in a while and all of a sudden today my dashboard dumped your last 7 post!! Hope that doesn't happen again!<br /><br />I have a drunkards path in mind so this would be great timing to win! BTW...saw you in the back of the latest Quilt Mania!!:) xo

I would love love love a copy of her book. I have made a few curved blocks but I am so stumped on how to put them together. Now, if I had the book...hope I am the lucky one!!!

This would be amazing..I have some old wedding ring pieces that I purchased from an older quilter at her garage sale that I'd love to put together

These are beautiful! I'm just getting started with quilting, but I would love to incorporate some curves into a soon-ish future quilt.

I'm a new quilter.....a whole week new and I am very excited about it! I love looking at all the quilting patterns and all the different shapes and sizes of the quilt blocks! I especially love the curves and would love to have a copy of this book so the adventure of sewing curves for me can begin! And by the way, your quilts are absolutely beautiful!

I love the Drunkard's Path pattern but am totally intimidated by curves. I'd love to get better with them!

Apple core pieces - what an awesome find! I would really love to make an apple core quilt some day.

The colours look fantastic together ... Yes clashing and random and maybe some you would never have used ....but together they work and look fab!
