Ever since the Drunkard’s Trail collections came out, I wanted to play with the variations. This one was made with the 6″ collection. It seems massive in comparison to the 2″ blocks, which were the ones I first made.
Then this one, made with the 4″ collection.
Finally, this one made with the 3″ collection. Although made with the 3″ collection, it finishes at 6″ because I used one of the “extra” shapes as the large centre.
They all press beautifully and I’m grading every seam as I go. The blocks are all going to be mixed and matched in the final layout. For now, I’m just having fun making some of each variation in each size. It won’t be a large quilt. At best, I think it may be a small lap quilt.
I’ve decided that while I am trying to stick to the red and white quilt during the week, the weekends are play time. Of course, the operative word in that sentence is “trying”. I’m so easily distracted by other projects!
Baxter was crashed after some pretty hectic play time Sunday night.

Great fabrics with the shapes. The first one reminds me of butterflies at sunset and the third one butterflies in a jar.
You are going to have to get Baxter “paw pads” for his iPad. Extra large ~ his paws are getting so big!
