Here is the project for this week's Curves Camp Course. When I first saw that it would be a Drunkard's Path block, I will say I was not looking forward to it. Especially after last week's wonderful Rainbow Road runner. This was going to have to be accurate!
My first blocked was pinned and while it is not too bad (from far away) it did have ........
that little bobble to the right of that little green leaf, see that tiny gray piece of thread? I did not take it out.
The second block I decided to try no pins, much better and no little bobbles.
You can imagine my delight when this happened? Everything (on this side at least) matched up! Ok full disclosure, the pattern includes a way to square things up so all the little wonky stuff is cut off.
Not bad for my first real try at a Drunkard's Path block.
The directions have us make 1 pot holder using 2 blocks, one for the front and one for the back. I decided to make 2 potholders and used this perfect gray dot for the back.
Next time hand stitching!

This is impressive And gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Fantastic! Now you're really sewing curves! That's what I imagined when you said you were taking the class and I really like the gentle way that you've been led to this point!
ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. You did a great job on those curves. Seems like doing smaller projects and building the skill is a great way to master those curves.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that the bias edge did the work and you were free from pinning. Fun fabric!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and pinless?!!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Without pins? I love it even more!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun pot holder!! Excellent curve sewing!!! Isn't it interesting how the different size of the binding changes the look so much.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like this! That little character - the girl with her hands up while hoola-hooping - looks like she's cheering you on. Touchdown! I love seeing you learn new things. You're doing great!
ReplyDeleteVery nice job. Hugs
ReplyDeletethey look great. I love those fresh fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing, I'd make two.
have you ever tried stitching the binding from the front, right next to the attaching seam? I find that works pretty well.
Oh! I love it. Your curves are like me, imperfect yet perfect. Love the fabric.
