Congratulations! I recently did a few DP blocks as well, and I did use the Accuquilt die to cut them - our library has one you can go in and use.
I also have a "Curvemaster" foot for sewing them and it really was helpful. Isn't it great to get something from your wish list tackled? |

Looks great! Doesn't it feel to have beaten something that had been bothering you.

I now have 17 blocks done. I am going nice and slow so I don't make a mistake. They are continuing to come out perfect. I had to do a bit of 'scrap' cutting. When I discovered I didn't have enough for 16 blocks. I went back into the scraps I had from the first die cutting and discovered not only did I have enough pieces for a 16th but for a whole 20! Now there are only the smallest of scraps left. I was so afraid I would have to use a different fabric combination to finish a 16th block that I started searching for that before I checked the left over scraps! I learned a very valuable lesson there. Save time and distress, look first! It will be several more days before I have the top finished.

Congratulations!!! That’s quite an accomplishment -its one of my favorite blocks

I played with how I wanted to arrange the blocks a great deal before I sewed the 2 blocks separately. I wanted to make a meandering road. Who knows not only this quilt top but another one is in the near future.

Those look great. It gives me hope.

Really nice!! I started quilting a year ago and the first one was a sampler Christmas quilt. One of the blocks was the Drunkard's path. I really did not like doing it because it reminded me of setting sleeves! Looking at your pretty blocks makes me want to maybe rethink this.
