This week I've been busy with non-quilting projects, one of which I'll post about later this week because I think it's so cool. But I was kind of scratching my head wondering what to post about in the interim, and I remembered that I made a quilt last year that I haven't blogged about yet. It was around October of last year and I had decided to kill two birds with one stone: get rid of some of my flannel stash and practice my very first curved piecing.  I decided that the best way to do this was to try my hand at a Drunkard's Path.

I used a flannel printed with lions and tiger and monkeys (oh my!) as well as a plain soft yellow flannel for the blocks. For the sashing and front ruffled edge, I used a tone on tone yellow polka dot. And for the back side, I used more of the animal print.



Once I was done the finished product, I wasn't very pleased with it. I was sorry that I hadn't chosen solids for a more modern look, and I also didn't know what to do with a baby-sized quilt when I was done. I ended up donating the quilt to a charity auction, from which it was stolen!


I suppose that's the Universe's way of punishing me for trying to foist a quilt I didn't like on a poor hapless charity! (In my defence, many people who weren't me, thought it was very pretty.)

I hope that whomever the baby is who was the recipient of this little quilt, that she or he sleeps sweetly under it, despite its provenance!


And, I have something weird and wonderful coming up for you later this week!
