I constructed this set of Drunkard's Path blocks last spring. I wanted the quiet of some straight assembly sewing and retrieved them form the place where unfinished work hangs out.
After the last post and my declaration that I was a fusion quilter I figured I"d share the source of my fabrics. All the backgrounds are leftover chambray's from clothing , except the small piece of ikat
in the lower right. The 3 curved sections in the second row down from left to right and clothing off cuts. The remainder are remains from other quilts.

Well I found some help from the traditionalists.
Given that I only had 60 4" blocks and very few scraps big enough to make more blocks I started laying out this version.
I have only 4 blocks with the ikat background so tried them for the center....OH NO way to confusing like a trip to the optometrist.
So far so good
O.K. I'm happy with this layout it:s taken me a whole morning to balance out the darks and lights and get them all to play well. I do need 4 corner blocks so off to the scraps.
I'll post again when there's more progress. Have a good Wednesday. Happy Middle of the week. Terry
