| The front path at the in-laws |
So before we left, I assembled my Drunk in Central Park baby quilt for Kate and Kristie`s QAL and here it is in the beautiful sun we have had today.
One of the things on my Winter Stitching List was to learn to piece curves and while I wouldn`t say it`s quite mastered, I`m pretty pleased with how these blocks came together.
Today I set to work on making a baby boy quilt for my cousin and his partner`s baby, which is due to arrive any minute. Did I ever mention that I work much better under pressure? I met Jacqui when she and Daniel visited Marrakech last year.
While she had visited Marrakech umpteen times it was my cousin`s first visit. They were here because Jacqui was doing a sponsored trek through the Sahara for Help for Heroes. As a reminder of our fun time together I knew I wanted to use 1001 Peeps but I have been dithering over how to use the fabric to its best. In the end I went for an `Addition` quilt (well the baby will be a new `addition` to the family) and managed to get the strips pieced.

Welcome back - was the in-laws gate pic longing to get in or out!?

Sounds like a lovely break. I think your quilts are looking wonderful and that your curves could not be better.
I really love your selection of patterns and colors for your quilts. you have a great eye. glad you had a break and nice visit with your in-laws. I like the entrance to their place, the shadows are beautiful. it looks like the yard sees a lot of traffic too, and I love the color of the compacted earth. wonderful photo Annabella. it has a really nice feel to it. happy day to you.
I am thinking about making an addition quilt for my new little one, yours is fabulous! So is your drunkard's path for that matter!
Your Central Park quilt is fantatic in those curves.. I'm seeing a lot of that block and it really making me want to give it a try!
Ooohhhh....such bright, happy colors. Oh my goodness, I love the circles.

Your Drunk in Central Park is beautiful! I think your curves look wonderful....you have curves figured out!
Love the colors in both quilts, but the Drunkard's Path just sings. Gorgeous!
As usual I find your quilts amazing and inspiring. Your sense of colors is fantastic.
The ones with the circles is so neat! I like the cross patterns in the second one too.
Great way to feature the peeps! I love the Drukard's Path quilt too.
Oh, I am in love with the Drunkard's path. The colors are fantastic.
That is a lovely Drunkard's Path in Central Park fabrics. There seem to be a few DP quilts happening out there! (I guess that would be beacuse of the DP QAL the icon of which is sitting right next to the 'post comment' box. Duh.)
And the 'addition' quilt looks great!
Wow! What a gorgeous set of projects you have on the go!
Both of those quilts have such great fabrics in them! Love the peeps!
I'd say you are the curvemaster!! And the name alone got me! "Drunk in Central Park" is perfect!
I have been meaning to make a plus quilt. Yours looks great! Can't wait to see more.
Thanks for linking at This Week.
I might have to try a drunkard's path quilt, because this is so gorgeous! I am wondering which method you used to cut and piece the curves?
I love the use of Kate Spain's Central Park in your Drunkard's path quilt. You pieced your curves very well, I am impressed.
these both are such beautiful quilts. the fabrics in the drunk in central park are stunning.
