While waiting on my SIL to tell me what colors she wants, my BIL said he and his wife would like black & gold.

Here's what I will do for them. I found some gorgeous fabric at the quilt shop for it today. I'll go get it tomorrow.


Well, I got one block done so far :lol: . The gold is actually a little darker than in this pic.

Oh, Drunkard's Path--I have not made that block yet (but it is next on my URR quilt). That will be stunning in those colors.

WOW, that is very pretty...I have not tried a drunkards path either...is it difficult? Keep us posted on your progress...I am very interested in the process.

I haven't made one either :lol: but I was trying it with scraps tonight and it isn't hard at all.

I just hope it doesn't make me dizzy!! :lol:

Have not made one. I'm a scaredy cat to try. But that one is going to be beautiful.

That is gonna turn out great! I love the way you used the colors in the pattern. Can't wait to see progress pics.

That is going to be gorgeous!!!!

Love the color and the pattern. So, sewing curves isn't that scary?

love it in those colors - very striking!

Ooooh...looks yummy!

Very nice. Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

OOOOOOOOOOOOO sounds very rich in color.... Please keep us updated

Your fabrics are great!!!!! Love them!!!

I love it..............keep up the great work. Please keep us posted.

Oh wow, your fabrics are stunning! I have never tried curves either! :)

That is going to look stunning!!

Wow that looks so rich....very pretty....you are brave! Thanks for sharing

That is beautiful. I love drunkard's path quilts. I made one this year too all in batiks.

Sybil

Very Pretty ! And you are a brave person in my book ! Curves scare me ! :shock: Keep us posted

Me too! :lol: I don't think I will be doing another one anytime sooon.

I'm kind of a rookie still. Can you tell me how you do the curves??

maggiebooboo, 1st I put on my don't get aggervated hat, then I cut my curves.

:lol: No, really what I did was cut a stencil from stencil plastic, trace it onto the fabric or in my case, I just used my rotary cutter.

I snipped the gold piece about every 3/8 inch and about 1/8 inch inward, then placed the pieces like this, then pinned it in 5 places and sewed it.

And they really lay flat? That is all there is to it? I would think they would pucker. I will have to do some experements.

By the way, I love the brown and gold fabrics that you picked out. It will turn out very pretty.

Yes, when you iron them they lay flat because of the snipping.

It looks like brown, but it is really black w/gold leaves. My camera is color blind sometimes. :lol:

Wow looking good.

nice block... thanks for the tips

This fabric is beautiful and I love the pattern! You have done a beautiful job on this!

For those of us wanting to try this pattern, Eleanor Burns "Quilt in a Day" has a great and simple way of creating the Drunkard's Path that will blow your mind. She starts with circles on squares and it's the color placement and cut that allows the pattern.

Can hardly wait to see the finished product. It's going to be lovely!

This is going to be one scrumptious(sp) quilt. I love it!

very nice!!
