Love your quilt and the fabric colors you chose. I also like to try to use up the scraps also and have used them for the binding in the past. Nice job! Were the specialty rulers the Drunkard's Path rulers? I've had mine for years still in the package when I found them a couple weeks ago and I decided it was time to try them out or get rid of them. I made 2 oversized lapquilt from them. Curves were out of my comfort zone so I decided I had to try them. I found using Elmer's Glue on the ends and snipping along the curves mad it easier to stitch the 2 sections together. Elmer's Glue washes out and I only put just a tiny little line on the fabric and then heat set it with the iron.

Don't let curves scare you. The ruler comes with a table runner pattern. Make it first and then the quilt won't be so hard. Just take your time. I admit, I pinned my blocks together before I stitched them. I was a dressmaker long before I was a quilter so I pin everything. I look at each quilt as a learning experience and this one taught me a lot about colors and curves.

Mary, your quilt is beautiful! I’ve been obsessed with all of the Drunkard’s Path designs out there. I just started seeing them and love it. My next project is definitely going to be using this block. Any suggestions or pointers? I’m looking for any tips I can get.
