Waynonda’s Winding Ways is a 4-color, 6-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. The quilt measures 72 x 72 inches. My first design for a Winding Ways quilt was an on-point setting and colored with sea greenish fabrics. When I opened the Winding Ways Design Book, I saw the sample quilt Linda had included in the worksheets with curved edges. I just had to try it out in a new design! This might be one of my top ten favorites in the A-Z series of designs.
This design uses the Inklingo 9” Winding Ways Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.
Waynonda is a living person so I am not sharing any personal information about her. She has one of the more unusual names in my family tree. Don’t you think a Winding Ways quilt was the perfect match for her name?

Viola’s Beauty is a 4-color, 5-fabric quilt set on point. The quilt measures approximately 70 x 70 inches. This quilt, with the pieced sashing, would have a lot of seams. The sashing is made with shapes from a Storm at Sea collection. I have also colored a version with plain sashing and cornerstones.
This design uses the Inklingo Orange Peel Deluxe Collection and the 6” Storm at Sea Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.
Viola (DeLong) Jones Dorgan is my 2nd great aunt—Adeline’s youngest daughter and Georgianna’s sister. She was born in 1855 in Ogdensburg, NY. Viola was married twice and had five children. Her first husband was a doctor who died at a young age. Viola died at a young age as well, possibly during the birth of her youngest child or shortly thereafter. Her children were taken in by other relatives but remained close throughout their lives.

Sewing Curves Without Pins
This is how I sew curves. (I dislike pinning!) I use a 3M Command Strip pasted along the side of my presser foot to help as a guide also. You need to be sure to use your 1/4″ presser foot if you are going to use a Command Strip as a guide. When I am done sewing curves, the Command Strip removes easily from my machine bed.
