It's not what you might think. I haven't gone round the bend with a bottle of whiskey. But, I have wandered a bit on the Drunkard's Path recently. I have this wonderful solids charm pack from
Robert Kaufman that
needs to be made into a quilt. So, I started
drinking thinking, and that's when I got involved with this tricky little block.
A
friend lent me his new toy, a die-cutter for fabric called the
Accuquilt Go Baby. One of the die cuts is a 3" drunkard's path block. The coolest thing about the Accuquilt is how fast it can cut up a TON of fabric. The not so cool thing, is that I cut up a bunch before I really thought about what I was doing. Wah, wah.

| It took about 5 minutes to cut up my Kaufman charm pack with the Accuquilt. |

| What a beautiful scrap heap! I can't bear to throw these little strips away. |
Now I've got all these little bitty curved blocks to piece and arrange. So far, I'm struggling.
As usual, I turn to
Google images for help. Here are my favorite arrangements. As it turns out, my most favorite is a Gee's Bend quilt. Go figure.
And then, I started designing some myself. Here are a few of the designs I'm considering.
Which one do you like best?
