Drunkards Path.....Top Done

After 15 years of sitting in a drawer...

 the Drunkards Path Quilt Top is DONE !

This week I completed all of the

Improv X Blocks 

for the border treatment...

It measures 80 x 80 inches

Now I need to paw through the fabric

cupboards and find something

that will work for a backing...

Drunkards Path...X Blocks

Playing around with some

Improv X Blocks... 

I am trying find a border treatment

that will compliment this

Drunkards Path quilt top...

So much color on the work table...

I have arranged the drunkards path blocks

in circles...

The X Blocks add straight lines

to offset all of those circles...

The more I make...

the better I like it.

I need more!

Drunkards Path...Border

 

At this point, the blocks are all

pieced together into circles...

I do love the cirles...

I think the border treatment needs some

straight lines.

I started playing around with some

improv X blocks...

The X blocks are super FUN to make...

The X blocks play together well

with all of those circles...

In between trips to the hay fields,

I will come home and make a block or two

for the borders.

Drunkards Path Quilt Blocks...

 

More than 15 years ago

I pieced a pile of Drunkards Path blocks

I pulled out my batik fabrics and had FUN

curved piecing...

I have to say, I have never been fond

of Drunkards Path quilts...

The layout and design of the

Drunkards Path puts me on edge...

so the blocks have been sitting in a drawer.

While I was searching for something else

in the Thread Shed I found the blocks...

I started playing around with them...

The full circle makes me happy !

Circles have always made me happy...

I like the way the circle really

jumps out at you...

So BOLD !

So I made a pile of circle blocks...

16 inch Blocks

Up on the Design Wall...

not sewn together just yet.

First row stitched together...

Two rows together...

All 16 blocks stitched together...

15 Years and the Quilt Blocks

are finally stitched into a quilt top...

How FUN is this !

I am not sure about a border treatment?

I am liking the yellow fabric...

We are all done branding calves and getting

the cow and calf pairs out onto

summer pasture with the bulls.

I am working in the flower beds now

battling the weeds, mulching, fertilizing

and watching the flower seeds sprout.

The Cowboy is busy getting the hay equipment

out of storage and ready to rock 'n roll

in the hay fields very soon!

Drunkards Path......Design Wall

I have something up on the Design Wall

I made these drunkard path blocks years ago.

I just slapped them up on the design wall...

I need to get to work and arrange them...

I can already see a few that need to be moved.

This gray, wet winter needs bright batiks!

I am looking forward to digging through 

the fabric cupboards

to find a few more batiks to cut into...

The more I look at these...

the happier I get!

Drunkards Path.......Batiks

This has been on and off the design wall for the last year.

At this point it will measure 56 x 56 when pieced.

I decided I want to make it bed size.....so I need to make a lot more blocks.

More to come....

Drunkard's Path

Also known as:

Solomon's Puzzle

Old Maid's Puzzle

Rob Peter to Pay Paul

Wanderer in the Wilderness

I pulled these blocks out of the drawer

and put them up on the wall for inspiration.

I think I need a HIT of color during these

dreary days of late winter.

I will keep you posted on my progress...
