Welcome to week 36 of the 'The Desperate Housewife's Quilt'. Todays block is about Foundation and curved piecing. Remember, this is not a quilt-a-long. Just follow the blog every week and pick and choose which blocks you would like to make. I will be injecting some uniqueness into traditional blocks, applique, three dimensional, crazy and thread-art blocks. If you make a block please post it on the Flickr group for everyone to enjoy. Also, I have this nifty button under each post that allows you to save the post as a PDF.

Be sure to visit this week's Guest Blogger and their wonderful block.
(N.B Due to time and date differences, guest bloggers posts do not always coincide with my post)
This weeks guest is Julianna Gąsiorowska from Poland. Please visit Julianna's site - Sewing under the Rainbow to be treated with some exceptional modern quilting projects. Julianna's is presenting a paper pieced block.

The grass grows before our eyes in the warm, barmy temperatures of summer. The blade struggles to cut through the grass.
