BOM Drunkard Path Variations - March & April Blocks

I got my March and April BOM blocks finished today. March's block is called "Way of the World" and I don't know if I really like the colour combination that I selected for this block. I think it needs more contrast but it may look better once it is around other blocks. I'll wait and see before making any decisions to redo this one.

April's block is called "Around the World" and I really like the contrast of this block.

BOM Drunkard Path Variations - Feb Block

Yes I know it's already March and I'm only posting my Feb block but I had to make sure I was at a certain point in my cats and dogs quilt for this coming Monday before I went and did the BOM. I have to say that the cats and dogs quilt flimsy will be ready for the meeting I just have some finishing touches to do on it this weekend. So I played catch up with the BOM the last couple of evenings and finished my Feb block which was King Tut's Crown.

I have to say it is getting easier to do the curved piecing but the first couple of sections I still had to sit there and remember how it all went together. After that it all came back and the block went together quite nicely.

BOM Drunkard Path Variations - January Block

I signed up for a BOM called Drunkard Path Variations that is being run by Kerstin http://kesquilts.blogspot.com/ .  I only got my templates for these block this past week and with work being rather busy I had to leave this to the last weekend in January.  I'm very please with how it turned out for a first timer at curved piecing.  I must say it has been a learning experience. I had to get a smaller sized rotary cutter and that made things a lot easier in the cutting department. Sewing the curves was interesting but lots of pins made it easier. The directions said to use 5 pins well I think I was using like 9 pins :-). Here is my finished block.

Below are the fabrics that I'm planning on using for this project. The Kaufman fusion fabric will be in each of the block (top). The fabric that is on the far left is the backing.  The 6 batiks that are resting one on top of another will appear in 2 of the 12 blocks each.  The one on the bottom is the one I used in today's block.  The darker batik that is along the bottom will likely be a sashing but that may change once all the blocks are completed.
