Bathroom Quilts, But Not in a Weird Way

Bathroom quilts, you say?  Yeah, weird, right?  My friend Veronica thought so.  This is what she envisioned for our master bathroom.

But seriously. I wanted to make some quilts for our master bathroom renovation (just trust me on this!) and I wanted to simultaneously try my hand at curved piecing. Cutting the initial pieces was pretty straight forward.

But then I had to piece together all of those curves! Eep!

It may look like those guys line up just fine and should be a piece of cake to sew, but, once you get everything in place, sewing them together actually looks more like this:

It took some time and much watching of online tutorials, but eventually I ended up with these:

Eddy helped me pick a couple of layouts and decide how to do the quilting,

and I framed them up and hung them in our new master bath!

Curved piecing = the holy grail of quilting.  Pretty sure I just reached some sort of insane expert status here.
