Pink & Purple Drunkard Path

One month last year, our bucket skill challenge was curved piecing.  I set about making drunkard path blocks for the first time.   Hmmmm,  not so difficult really........just slower going.  I chose a print for the DP blocks, then pulled yardage to compliment the print.

Actually, I set up this design in EQ first, just to see where I was going!  EQ helped me with the special sized templates for the DP block units and the borders too..... and it helped me plan the special pieced backing!  This quilt is made from 6" blocks and finishes at  64 x 72.

and here is the back ..................................................

I'm joining these linky parties where you'll discover more quilters and their wonderful projects.

CCQ's 18, 19 & 20

I still aim for 2 charity comfort quilts a month - most of them are baby and toddler size.  This month I thought I'd take the quick 'n easy route. ... the   Supersize 9-Patch  designed by Anita Grossman Soloman .... .

So, putting the tops together was super quick ----  the quilting took longer as I had fun with different designs with the walking foot.  These are all backed with comfy fleece, washed, and ready for gifting.

You can see all my comfort quilts on the  CCQ  page.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Keys to Contentment - Block 3

The March block is stitched up and stashed with the others.  When all 9 blocks are done, I hope to frame them into a colorful wall hanging.  You can see all the blocks together on this  PAGE  .

You can get these patterns for yourself, by visiting Val Laird's blog button in my left sidebar.

I'm linking up with Kelly at My Quilt Infatuation where you'll find many other quilters sharing their projects.
