Design Wall Monday

I worked diligently and got my string blocks I started and mentioned last week all sewn.  What did I do with them you say?  Glad you asked, LOL.  I made them into this Drunkard's Path quilt.  It's part of my Just String Series of quilts that I use for workshops and lectures.  I did mention that more curve quilts would be shown soon.  These blocks were cut with plastic template rulers and they are 7" finished.  If you'd like to see more string quilts, see my post yesterday as string quilts were assigned to my scrap quilting club and we had the "big" reveal.

 I just couldn't stand to throw away the left over pieces from cutting the drunkard's path quilt that I started sewing them into these crumb units.  It was really fun but did remind me that it takes a little time and patience to build crumb blocks.  I'm still working on these and I have no specific project in mind.  I'll just add them to my collection of crumb units I already have on hand.

 This photo shows what I still have left of the project to sew into something.  I'm very proud that I'll end with very little wasted fabric; not that fabric is a shortage around here...

 This quilt, African Inspired, is the assignment given to the scrap quilting club yesterday.  It's a take on the "old fashioned" card trick block.  I decided to utilize some of the "African" influenced fabrics I've been collecting for years during my travels to Paducah, KY - Nashville, TN - and Houston, TX.  I used 35 different prints in the blocks and I didn't even get to touch all the African fabrics in my collection.  I still need to decide on my border for this one.  Yep, this photo decided to turn on it's side.

That's it for now.  To see more design walls, visit Patchwork Times.
