This African fabric required fussy cutting. The remaining fabric can only be considered scraps.
First I sewed some of the 7" blocks. I won't sew anything together into big blocks at this point. That will come after playing at the design wall.
I sewed 4 of the 3.5" blocks too. It has been about 3 years since I made Drunkard's Path blocks so I needed some practice with the curves.
I will be linking up with Vicki's "Cross the Drunkard's Path quiltalong"......link button on my right sidebar so you can see what everyone else is making.
I think we're all waiting for the design wall.... as usual!!! I will be sharing/teaching the curved piecing in January. Plan to play with some curved blocks in December.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the design wall. Those African fabrics are gorgeous. I've always loved them, but don't have many.
ReplyDeletegreat work on the fussy cutting
ReplyDeleteI love the way the fussy cutting turned out!
ReplyDeleteI have the Drunkard's Path 3 1/2" die to cut these but I have never felt like they looked great when I sew them.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the fussy cutting . . . and the left behind scraps still offer some interesting possibilities.
ReplyDeleteFUN watching you work!!
I love how you did the fussy cutting on those deer.
ReplyDeleteLove the fussy cut prints! That is going to be a striking quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat antelope fabric will add some whimsy to your quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe antelopes are a wonderful touch. I ought/need/must try a Drunkard's Path project.
