Friday we went to the quilt show. This is my favorite quilt of all that were entered. The maker used cream background and floral prints for the drunkard path blocks. I have a very small bin of pieces for my scrappy quilt. I need to get crackin' on that one. I have made 3 drunkard path quilts already but now I want a totally scrappy one. So thanks to this quiltmaker for sharing and for inspiring me to work on mine.
Miss Clella is a quilt show princess. I don't know how Crystal does it but she packed her almost all the time. She uses one of those pack things but just looking at her makes my back hurt.
I spent most of the day working on my Scrappy Sister's Choice quilt. If you enlarge the photo, you can see my center. I started making the centers as soon as I could sew after my surgery. I didn't know what I was going to do with them. Then I had a thought!
I was going to make this totally scrappy like in this post but I couldn't see the blocks in it that way. So I changed plans (that means I spent all afternoon with the seam ripper!!!) and now will make each block have the same background in the star points. I thought I had all my pieces cut but I don't. I need to make star points for 26 more blocks!
(See the block--2nd down, left side? Well, it's been fixed! Why didn't you tell me???)
So now I'm tired and I need my jammies and some quiet time. Good Night.

I love that scrappy drunkard's path also - I've made sections of DP before - for accent, but never a whole quilt. Gotta try that some time.
Love that Maytag repairman too - hope that helpfulness carries on into his later year.

HEY That drunkards path is Goooooooorgious! and I have enough scraps of floral I could probably make one that big! But I have never made drunkards path. Especially not into hand sewn traditional. But I do have Elise's templates and the Curvemaster so I KNOW I can accomplish that. Just need to get the 0ther 105 UFO's done first! heheh
