I used a charm pack of Kate Spain's Central Park and quickly learned that it didn't go far.
So after some Kona white solid I had ordered ages ago finally showed up last week, I added a white border and an outer scrappy border to make it a decent sized baby quilt. The scrappy blocks are not Central Park but I tried to match up the colours in Central Park and patting myself on my back, I think I did okay. The scrappy blocks are Parisville, Loulouthi and Kumari Garden.
I have loved making the Drunkard's Path block - it looks difficult but it really isn't and is so versatile...
...if you don't believe here, click here to see all the amazing designs made from this simple block. Thanks to Kate and Kristie for a great QAL and for introducing me to the drunkard's path! Thank you also to my PIFers, Dolores, Kate and Jenelle. More on Paris tomorrow.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Love this quilt so much and the border is absolutely perfect - well done xxx
Looks great - hope you feel better soon!
looking good and nice points, too.
That is beautiful.And I love the blue skies too!
You did a fantastic job of finding matching prints! Very nice! :)
Hope you're feeling better soon. The drunkards path looks fab. The scrappy border completely compliments and wouldn't be at all obvious to those not in the fabric obsessive know, that it isn't all from the same range, it all goes so well! I think I'll only ever attempt a drunkards path if I have a go to cut the bits up as I'm sure accuracy is a big key!
The quilt looks great. Get better soon.
Nice job!
What a shame falling ill when you were away. I hope it didn't ruin your weekend too much.
Your quilt is lovely, as always. To a non quilting person they all really hard to me lol.
Get well soon.
This looks wonderful! And you made it to the link up just in time. Good luck with the draw, hope to have the winners posted tonight or tomorrow :)
Very cool that you live in Marrakech. My husband and I spent some of our honeymoon there back in 2000 and just loved it, and Morocco in general!
Oh that is beautiful, well done! Hope you feel better soon, happy snuggling
Oh poor you, it sounds like you have what I had last Monday. Curl up, sleep and don't do anything you don't have to! Love the quilt. You got the colours spot on but you always do. We'll sit here and patiently wait for our Paris report when you are better. We are all nice like that! ;-)
well - if you will go off galavanting for a girlie weekend away and leave the rest of us shivering in this grey weather......! Hope you feel better soon and its just a 24 hour thing.
Love the quilt. Have you had your table runner yet?
This is really lovely, I think you did a great job of matching up the fabrics! Hope you're feeling better soon :-)
Love how some of your circles stand out more than others, gives it whirly movement.
Love your fabric choices. The drunkards paths are beautifully pieced!
I hope you feel better soon Annabella!!
Beautiful quilt! And the borders look fabulous, too! Hope you feel better soon!
So gorgeous! I am going to be making one of these after the holidays for sure. Your border looks great with the other fabrics, too. Feel better. :)
Really beautiful, I like the white border, it gives a lot of light to the quilt.
I love that quilt, and the block. I think the borders you have added are perfect. I hope you feel better soon, and that despite it all you had some fun in Paris.
