starting 2 new quilts when I have a stack of tops that need basting and quilting and another quilt already on the go.
It could be worse - I could be drinking beer and using a rotary cutter. Oh, heck, that was last night. Darn it.
They're not really as wonky as they look here, I swear. I had a lot of trouble taking the pic from above the table.
Working these quarter-circles wasn't as hard as I'd imagined (I have sewn clothing before, after all), but you do have to work slowly and carefully. And yes, pin from the center out. I used about 13 pins per square.

This is what's currently on my design wall. I've wanted to make a drunkard's path quilt for 10 years or so. I don't know why I waited so long. I'm having a lot of fun with this one.
Hope you like it, partner. The mister wants me to keep it - but I think it'll have a fun time in its new home.

Patchwork turtle block using DS Hope Valley and Kona cotton natural. A variation on the drunkard's path block, with head and tail appliquéd post-piecing.Inspiration; instructions.
My newest block for the "complete quilting course" I'm taking. Curved piecing is hard! I do love how much this block looks like sherbet, though.
This was very fun! I feel like as I approached the 16th quarter circle, my curves were getting better and better, and I'm much happier with this than with my last block! Practice, practice, practice! Love the layout possibilities with this one. And I can see this block repeated in a quilt, it would be so cute!
