Quite a while back (October to be exact) I wrote a
Dear Gene Letter. It was all about a project I started using a Drunkard's Path block. I
found came across pulled out the package of pieces that I had cut and the small section that was already sewn. I decided to follow my
Irish Muse and sew these together. So that is what I did on Sunday evening.
I sat and pinned the pieces together while I watched a movie. Then I sat and sewed them. I pulled up the diagram on my computer and laid them out. Then I joined each section together until I had this piece.
. Just don't look too closely, there are some seams that didn't match up perfectly. If you are a "quilt policeperson" don't grimace too hard, you will crack a tooth!
You will notice some extra sections there on the left. If you look back at the Dear Gene letter, you will see that I still have half of this to go. However the right half is completed. I don't know that I will ever make a big Drunkard's path quilt. But I do like my layout of it.
Happy Quilting!

I do like it! The colors and all, even though it is only half done. Great job!
I think it looks pretty good and matches up pretty good.
Good Job Gene, I like the color combos
I LOVE this! super cool, and I don't know what you are talking about with the seams. It all looks terrific to me!
Have you started the block for blockapalooza yet? I'm on the road today, so won't be able to tackle it until tomorrow. I've never made flying geese before, but the toot makes it looks really do-able!
Gene, I love this! It's so cheerful!
I love the block! Especially with the colors you selected!! I'm not a curve sewing person so I am very impressed!!
Very cheery - I like it!
I love the bright fun colors that you have chosen!
I love the Drunkards Path pattern, and the colors you've used are so cheery!
I got the die, cut some, sewed some but didn't get much beyond that. It's a project sitting upstairs with the other UFOs. I love this pattern, it looks so modern for such an old block. Did you use a foot for curves? I'm thinking of getting one - "they say" you don't need pins then. We'll see.
Gene, it really is lovely. I don't see myself tackling that pattern ever, so you are way ahead of me. I hope you are going to do the second half?
I've always loved the Drunkards Path design and have certainly made more with the AccuQuilt die. Love your design layout and use of colors. Truly a spectacular quilt. Can't wait to see it finished Gene.
