Being a professional machine quilter, I do a lot of quilting. But rarely are the quilts mine. I finish other people’s quilts. I started this quilt way back in July, I think. I start LOTS of quilts. They don’t always get finished. This one did! And it is just for me! I wanted something warm to cuddle up in when I’m watching TV.
It make it extra warm, I added wool batting and backed it with a cuddly fleece.
You may recognize this pattern from an earlier post. The setting is a variation using the curved drunkard’s path block. All the fabrics were from my stash, so this was stash busting! Those cream colored “paths” were just screaming for some feathers. Of course since it’s my quilt, I quilted my name in the center.
WOW VERY PRETTY
LOOKS SO SNUGGLY

Thanks, Karin. I guess if I put as much time into my painting as I have with quilting, I would feel more confident as an artist. The feathers and curls come pretty easy now if I’m drawing with a large machine!

This is a pattern I’ve always wanted to try also. I was intimidated by the curved piecing, but it really wasn’t that hard. You should try it.

What template did you use and what size? I am wanting to do my first drunkards path, and there are so many rulers and templates

I believe it was an 8” finished block. That made the curve easier to sew. I don’t remember where I got the acrylic templates, but I’m sure there are several available on the market. Thanks for looking.
