I'd never really tried sewing curves ... it looked hard ... but I love Drunkard's Path quilts.

It turned out to be WAY easier than I thought! It definitely won't be the last one of these I make! :mrgreen:

Here's the throw I made in just a few hours, spread out over 3 days. I used two charm packs (I Believe in Santa and Tidings, both by Nancy Halvorsen/Benartex) and fabric from the Stonehenge Celebration collection. The Stonehenge fabrics are super-shiny with lots of metallic gold. (The gold stripes are some fabric I already had; not sure who made it.)

Now to quilt it ... hopefully in time for Christmas! :shock:

(Excuse the wrinkles and the chair in the lower right of the photo! :oops: )

Great job! I love it. I am kind of afraid of curves! You did a really good job.

This is beautiful! I love the colors (love Nancy Halvorsen) and you did a really great job. Please post a pic after it is quilted:)

Wow, thanks y'all! :mrgreen:

Here's how I sewed the curves. No pinning necessary - yippee! After a couple of practice blocks to get the hang of it, it really is as easy as the video shows. :)
