BOM's Done!

BOM all done!

BOM all done!
Paper pieced blocks and Drunkards Path

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Style: Funky, Casual, Traditional


Materials

Quilting cottons

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to learn how to make a variety of blocks.

What are you most proud of?

That I got them all done.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make sure when the pattern calls for a "scant 1/4" seam" that you follow those directions. I also found a Rotating cutting board that was big enough to square-up the 12-1/2" blocks on and it made that task so much easier. It also worked good on squaring up the smaller blocks too. The Drunkards path blocks with the curved seams looked difficult but went together very easily. Those and the paper pieced blocks were the ones I thought were going to be the most difficult but were really easy. :-)

I have a deep Fushia for the sashing. I think a darker color will look better than a light color for the sashing. Fushia is my favorite color, it wasn't hard to decide to use it for the sashing. :-)

Wonderful colors...congratulations on the finish! I've still got Oct to do & finish Sept (ugh)....that drunkards path really slowed me down, but hopefully will finish this week!

I used two different Drunkards path patterns. The one with the diagonal stripes is from Amy's class. The one next to it is from McCalls website. It is a free pattern, I think it was called The Drunkard's Path Wedding Ring, but I'm not sure. It had wider pieces to work with which made it a little easier. But really I was surprised at how easy the curved pieces went together. Good luck with yours.

Your colors are very feminine and joyful. You did an awesome job. Thanks for the heads up on "scant 1/4 inch seam" A roating cutting board is wonderful. So glad to hear the paper pieced blocks and drunkards path were easy. Looking forward to seeing your lattice and borders in the finished quilt.
