Put this together with 3 more blocks and you have a Drunkard's Path.
Quilt Sampler Class
Toronto, ON
January - March, 2008
I decided to do a double drunkards path block for Tanya. Since I have a inability to sew curves on the machine & having developed a love of handsewing thru doing the Amitie BOM, I handpieced this. It was fun & I am happy with the result.
Slow tho..is this the last circle to be done!?

I played with my drunkard's path blocks for quite a while before I settled on a final layout.
I've just finished the quilting on this quilt (I pretended I was the wonderful Lynne@Lily's Quilts and quilted a grid) and now need to decide whether I'm adding piping before the binding. DP units were printed using Inklingo and the top was hand pieced. Quilted using Aurifil 50wt in 5006 (aqua) and 2610 (medum grey) in a 3" grid.

Finally finished!!
Hand pieced (using Inklingo to print out the DP pieces and my usual freezer paper templates for the block borders, sashing and cornerstones), machine quilted using Aurifil 50wt in grey (2610) on top and aqua (5006) in the bobbin.
I used two City Weekend charm packs to make the DP units, Kona Medium Grey for the block borders, a turquoise TOT stripe for the sashing, Spot On Wide in aqua for the back and a print from City Weekend for the binding.

Lana's granddaughters and their quilts. Evening class: The girls cut out all their blocks, grandma pinned and pressed, the girls sewed and got nearly all their blocks done in the 3 hour class. Next morning: Grandma pinned and pressed, the girls sewed their rows together, and got all but one row to complete their quilt tops by Sew & Tell at lunchtime. BRAVO for grandmas quilting with their grandchildren!! Bravo for passing along the joy!
Made from the Needle and Spatula / Obsessive Crafting Disorder quilt-a-long as well as originally inspired by Canoe Ridge Creations' quilt.

Finished the baby quilt for my old roommate. I was aiming for an abstract representation of the ocean. Blogged: greencheesequilting.blogspot.com/2014/10/seaside-baby-qui...
I suppose I could clean off the table to get a better shot, but you know what? Nah.
When done, I'll surround the blinkenlights with a full row of green. The rest of the quilt finishes out with simple 6" squares.
Ashley will probably squee when she sees this; she'll finally understand just how much fabric Blinkenlights and Discothèque really share. (Hint: it's a LOT.)

I played with a drunkard's path template today. I used it with some left over charms from a Love U charm pack.
Now to decide how to arrange the blocks.
Traditional setting.

This one looks like a funny rounded star...I think this is my least favorite.
I received this lovely reversible quilt from Samelia's Mum. Flying geese on one side and drunkard's path circles on the other with lovely hand quilting. Anorina even included a little piece of some cute Christmas fabric with kangaroos - adorable. Thanks, Anorina, I love my little quilt.
I've cut all my pieces... and these are the squares that I have sewn together so far (the blocks aren't sewn together yet)
I finished the top at the weekend...so it was a super fast one. And not too much of a pain to put together. It is actually smaller than the tutorial, but that's because I realised it was ridiculously girly and was only going to get even more girly if I carried on (most of the other blocks were purpley or pink or just a bit on the girly side). So I stopped at lap size. Or baby size. 50ish inches x 60ish inches.
I will make another one, because it was fun. Fancy that - curved piecing fun. I never thought I'd utter those words!
