I went down the Drunkard's Path for sure this week. I am not sure what inspired me to starch and press my Autumn fabric collection by Lori Holt and drag out my Drunkard's Path templates, but this is the result. I used a pattern called Daybreak Mini by Sheri McConnell of A Quilting Life for the layout. I wasn't really paying attention to the size of her block units, because I was using a template that made units 4 1/2" square, which I trimmed down to 4 1/4".

It took no time at all, and I was glad to have an opportunity to practice my curved piecing before I got totally rusty at it. The end result is about 24 inches square, maybe a bit smaller. I didn't measure it, but it will be fine for a little table topper in late summer/early fall. 

I am pleased to announce that I got the Strawberry Garden quilt off the design wall. All the blocks are sewn together, and I only have one more task. I need to piece a checkerboard border for the two sides of the quilt. That won't take long and the top will be off to be quilted. I will take a photo before I box it up. I hope by next summer I will have gotten over being sick of looking at it. My gosh, that was a project. I am swearing off complicated Fig Tree quilts for a while. 

Now that the design wall is cleared off, I was in a quandry as to what to put up next. I haven't mentioned my Riley Blake Design Challenge 2025 in a while, but I would like to get this project wrapped up. I wasn't even sure if I would do anything with it, as I didn't want to feel pressured to keep up with a sew along. Well, I didn't really keep up with the sew along, but I do like the blocks, which I htink have a down home country feeling to them.

I have a fun idea for the center, so you will have to check back with me to see if it pans out.

Happy August and have a fabulous weekend everyone!
