This is my favorite part of any quilt! I love seeing the pieces come together! We didn’t have to finish the blocks this leg of the QAL but I managed to get some free time so I sewed my little heart out and got them ALL done.
Remember my first post about this QAL? Well, I drug out my original planning guide and pinned it to my basting wall for easy reference.
I organized them, stars on the left, corners in the center, and sides on the right. Then I started piecing!
Here are the beginnings of my corners all strung out like pretty bunting.
Fast forward 800 hours later, ok maybe 12 hours lol, and you get all the stars, corners and sides put together. The stars are fabulous! I could make a whole quilt out of these alone. I like them enough to even sew more drunkards path blocks again sooner than…well sooner than never. 🙂
And I’m thankful for the hubby for helping me pin the ones at the top. And adjust the ones at the bottom. Never mind my messy sewing room, I create mess when I sew and clean between projects. Don’t judge me.
And here are my finished blocks. I’m SOOOOO happy the way these turned out! It was quite a job to get these all done, but like I said, I love this part so it went by like a flash.
So excited to see how everyone else’s blocks turned out as well!
Thank you Melissa for designing this awesome block/quilt!

P .S. I love the center stars as well and have thought several times of making a quilt of just them 😉 Glad it made the drunkards path more enjoyable with the outcome 😉
