Drunkard's Path


I've recently had a bunch of requests to add drunkard's path templates to my shop.  I wasn't sure which sizes would be popular, so I made 3 different sets. A 4", a 5", and a 6".


I couldn't sell them without testing first... so here is what I made with the 4" set.  Just a simple quilted pillow, with a traditional circle pattern. This size set is really cool because you can cut both pieces of the block out of 1 charm square. No really. The waste is less than a square inch, it's really cool. One of the (many) very cool items in my Sewing Summit swag bag was a kona solids charm pack.  Mine was in the 'dusty' palate, which wouldn't have been my first choice, but it worked for this scrappy pillow which is destined for a friend, who I know will love it.  Incidentally, everything I used in the making of this pillow (except for the muslin) was received at the Sewing Summit weekend, either in the swag bag, or from giveaways. The thread and batting included. I still can't say enough about how awesome that weekend was.


What types of templates or rulers are you guys looking for?  Give me some ideas, I'm really open to suggestion!  Cheers!

    This is awesome! You are becoming the master of curved piecing. Seriously, it's making me want to try one of these blocks. As if the to-do list wasn't long enough already.

    It's such an awesome pillow! I wasn't sure what I'd use those dusty charms for either, but you're convincing me to give them a second look!
