Drunkard's path.

Trying to be quiet is like trying to claim Mount Everest for me. Look at me, I lasted only two posts for the August Break. I'll try again later.Today I want to post about of these Drunkard's path kind of blocks. I started this quilt almost a year ago. I made my husband turn around the still packed boxes of our garage to find these fabrics, and the templates... and he found them. He's such a nice guy.

Couple of days ago I started looking at the blocks, and with lots of discipline I pieced whatever was already cut.

Estar callada es para mi como escalar el Everest. No duré ni dos días con el August Break. Lo intentaré otra vez en algún otro momento. Hoy les quiero contar acerca de estos bloques, son una variación de el Drunkard path. Empecé este quilt hace ya casi un año. Hace unas semanas le pedí a mi esposo que me ayudara a buscar las telas y los moldes en las cajas (que aún no desempacamos) del garage. Tan buena gente, volteó el garage de un lado al otro hasta que los encontramos. 

Empecé a ver los bloques y con mucha disciplina cosí lo que ya estaba cortado.

 

 

The blocks weren't speaking to me. The seams were difficult to match, I felt they have to much of the grey background. I was starting to feel out of steam for this project which is really a shame since I planned it so carefully.

Cosía y cosía y no me ispiraba, los bloques no me decían mucho: las costuras son difíciles de empatar, sentía que tenían mucho gris de fondo. Sentía que perdía el tiempo con estos bloques, lo cual es una pena habiendo planeado este quilt tan cuidadosamente.

 

 

I started playing with the blocks, arranging in various ways. I think it's finally talking to me.

I want this to be at least a twin size quilt again. That's the perfect size for me, and the largest I can quilt with my sewing machine.

Entonces empecé a jugar con los bloques, a acomodarlos de distintas maneras hasta que por fin le encontré la vuelta y me gustó la idea de seguir con este quilt. Quiero hacerlo de una plaza más o menos, ese es el tamaño perfecto para mi y el tamaño mas grande que puedo acolchar con mi máquina de coser.

I've found that the minute I say I'm on a blog break the ideas come flooding in!! no pressure = more fun. I'm liking these blocks. I rarely use solids but I'm going to have to change that. These are really great.

I'm liking these solids a lot Deb, but I still want to add a few prints, nothing too noisy. Thank you for your comment!!
