Today's question: What if I combine these three blocks to create quilt designs?

Three Block Quilts # 1

Drunkard's Path




Friendship Star



Nine Patch




Yesterday I played with Drunkard's Path and Nine Patch to see what I could find. Today I'm adding Friendship Star into the mix.

Paired Blocks # 31

Drunkard's Path
& Nine Patch

Two very simple blocks that I've played with before. I decided to play with them again. Maybe I'll find something different this time.

Drunkard's Path

Drunkard's Path Plus

I got to wondering - What if a Drunkard's Path block had two quarter circles instead of one?




Here's what happens.

Clay's Choice &

Drunkard's Path

I thought it would be interesting to combine an 8" Clay's Choice block with 4" Drunkard's Path blocks.

You Really Should Try Mixing

Drunkard's Path Blocks

With Other Blocks

Drunkard's Path is an interesting block that is very different from most bocks. Usually it is used in combination with other Drunkard's Path blocks. Which is too bad, because combining it with a variety of blocks can result in some unique designs.

What If You Combine

Faux Drunkard's Path Blocks

With Snowball Blocks?

There's more than one way to skin a cat; and there's more than one way to create quilt designs. I have no idea why you would want to skin a cat. But I know a lot of good reasons to design quilts. My favorite is - because it's fun.

What Else Can You Do

With A Drunkard's Path Block

It's easy to think that Drunkard's Path blocks can be used for only one purpose - to make Drunkard's Path quilts. But you can take a Drunkard's Path block and use it in combination with other blocks to make a variety of different quilts.

What Elsie Can Do

With A Drunkard's Path  Block

This quilt design is by Elsie Montgomery of Elsie Quilts. She calls it Drunken Stars. She saw what I did with Drunkard's Path and Friendship Star blocks and wanted to see what she could do.

What Else Can You Do

With A Drunkard's Path Block?

There are quite a few quilt designs that are made using just a Drunkard's Path block. But why use just a Drunkard's Path block? Why not combine it with other blocks?

What Else Can You Do

With A Drunkard's Path Block?

Ever wonder what would happen if you tried making a quilt using two blocks that on first glance look like they probably don't go together?
