Here is Scrappy Summer 2017 #2 – Curves (41×55). I have always wanted to try my hand at making the drunkards path block and I thought this would be a great opportunity.

I had an idea for the layout of this small quilt when I started making the blocks but then I started thinking ‘what if?’. That changed the design and unfortunately if I wanted to offset the blocks I needed to add a small rectangle to one end of the block. Sometimes the batik fabric hides the seam and sometimes it doesn’t. Did you notice the black/white checkered fabric in the center of the big block? My girl friend Carla suggested adding something unexpected and it really turned out great.
I have been working on Scrappy Summer #3 and all that is left to be done is to add the border. Come back and see what I did with the flying geese blocks.
How are your projects coming along?
Check out my ‘Linky Parties’ page to find some fabulous blogs where I share my projects and get inspiration.
That looks so good. The central square is a great idea, very creative. The batiks really enhance the pattern.
Nice job on our drunkards path. I love to work with batiks.
This is indeed creative. Love the Drunkard’s Path blocks set with partial seams. Voila – now you have circular pinwheels!!! My projects are moving along fine, but I am worse for the wear 🙁 Hoping October will get easier.
Love the curves pattern. Now , is there a pattern for it or cutting direction for the pattern?
Peggy, unfortunately, there is no pattern. I first made the drunkards path blocks and then decided to offset them. The individual unit finishes 5 3/4″ x 7-3/4″ with the checkered square finishing 2″. Hope that helps. Micki
Looks somewhere between propellers and flowers. I love how it came out!
Love the checkerboard fabric in the centers – adds a nice contrast to a great quilt!
