Four blocks in formation.
I will try to get 16 done and set up as the traditional 16 square Drunkards Path.
If I do circles, there will be 36 circles and if I do the traditional Drunkards Path, there will be 9.
I also received a 3000 yds cone of periwinkle for the top quilting. I love Superiors "Bottom Line" thread. It's a fine 60 wt thread, eliminates bulk and leaves a nice smooth flat finish. Hopefully I will be adding to this later in the week.
OK, now I really feel silly. I did the 16 blocks and when I went to arrange them realized that I was supposed to have had a different cut out pattern if I was going to do the traditional drunkards path. I cut half green pies and half purple L's. For the traditional I would have to have cut 1/4 green pies, 1/4 green L's, 1/4 purple pies and 1/4 purple L's. Oops. Guess I am committed to a circle quilt which WAS the original idea. With the circle quilt I can do a quilt as you go design which will be far easier than trying to quilt an entire queen sized quilt under a home machine. So I guess I'm good to go!
Hope this weekend is better for you, and can't wait to see more about the circle quilt!
ReplyDeleteThese colors are really gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better now!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great as is. I so want to do a circle quilt - it's on my list! And a QAYG is so much better for you right now. You don't need to struggle over a huge quilt! Best to you!
