Finally!

Whew! I finished – now I just have to sew the blocks together. I am not quite sure how I am going to go about it – but I have several plans.

Here goes….

Twelve Pies and six Tarts

I have printed and cut the ten half tarts. They should go together quickly.

Twelve Pies

Now on to 6 Tarts, 10 half tarts and 4 quarter Tarts. I haven’t chosen the fabrics or printed them yet so it may be awhile before my next post.

This quilt is going very slowly – it is not one of my favorites – but I am slogging along – I am too far into it to give up now. Besides – it is my entry into the “small quilt” category at Quiltfest Jacksonville 2013 in September.

Pie #5 and #6

I’m not totally happy with how the points meet in the middle. There is probably something I could do to make it better -  I will undoubtedly figure it out on the last couple of blocks!

Pie #4

I haven’t worked on this since March 11th 2011 – I just checked my last post of Pie #3. Wow – that’s a long time! But that’s perfectly normal for me – I make a few sample blocks and put them away and move on to another pattern that catches my attention. It’s all Linda’s fault – she keeps coming up with such fabulous Inklingo patterns and I can’t resist.

This quilt is my entry in QuiltFest Jacksonville 2013 in the “small” category – maximum 180″ total sides. I enlarged the pattern 143% so the Pie blocks are 10″ rather than 7″.

For a quilt that measures 30″ x 40″ without the borders I need: 12 Pie blocks, 6 Tart blocks, 10 half  Tarts, and 4 quarter Tarts.

Mini Drunkard’s Path done!

Backing will be the small blue floral print, the purple – a tiny half inch inner border, the orange stripe is the two inch border and the triangle print is the binding. I don’t have the yardage for any of the fabrics except for the purple – so I have to wait till they arrive to finish this  little quilt.

Halfway there

Three rows joined. Click on the picture for a closeup view.

36 Mini Drunkard’s Path blocks done!

Now to join them – after a bit of rearranging of course. I thought I might join them by machine – but I really do prefer hand piecing. It should go fairly quickly because all the seams are straight and it is a very small quilt. After I join the blocks it will be only 24″ square – then I am going to add a 2″ border for a total of 28″ square. The mini quilt category at QuiltFest Jacksonville 2013 is max 30″ on the longest side.

Progress on the mini Drunkard’s Path

Four rows done – two more to go.

18 down 18 to go

I think this is going to be a cute little quilt – I am pleased with the way it is coming together.
