Curves

An easy type of quilting 
Is to sew two fabric squares 
Which are pinned and lined up neatly;
Nothing else, for ease, compares.

Once you make the shapes more complex,
Like a triangle or curve,
Things might get a little tricky
And you need a bit more nerve.

I’ve been sewing several years now
And still have a way to go,
For when stitching points or circles,
There’s a lot you have to know.

Curves have always proved a challenge
And frustration is no fun.
Every time I had to sew some,
I would backtrack to square one.

But I’ve lately had a breakthrough, 
Which I hope my brain preserves,
For my latest little project
Has a lot of sneaky curves.

Yet I’m tackling them slowly 
And they’re falling into place.
Something clicked - you know that feeling?
And a smile is on my face.

Now my project, when I finish,
Will be far from error-free,
But if you check out my curves, I think
That you’d be proud of me.
