Fall Quilt Block Swap due October 15th

[katsdar]

I looked up the drunkards path and it looks very straight forward and the same principal of easing a sleeve into an arm hole when putting together a shirt, I can do this one. Your cutting will need to be exact is going to be the key here. how many would like to attempt this one for maybe a future project? also you will have to be careful not to stretch the fabric. This block to me is a whole lot less scary than when I saw the block we are doing now.

I would be up for trying it, but I think it should be done w/ high contrast fabrics, not the pink and cream pallet being discussed. I think low contrast would just hide all the hard work.

I think you are right Kassaundra and also how would you work in the green to give the contrast?

Pink or cream (your choice) as the background with a green bite.

Hello Ladies,

I think if we try a block that is very adventurous we may lose some of our regular blockers. So the hunt is still on and lots of time to think colors and blocks.

Been looking at some layout options for the drunkards path, my there are quite a few options.

I found several without triangles, so you could take a look if you want.

RustyHen I like those and I can see the proposed colors in those blocks

What about a log cabin or fence rail blocks?
