No Nonsense Nine-Patch
Here’s a great way to use some of those fabrics you’ve
been hoarding. Nine-patch blocks are alternated with half-square triangle
blocks to create multiple bands of shadow and sunlight. The sewing is
not difficult and Jean will (as always!) give you tips to improve your
piecing skills. The blocks can be placed in diagonal rows like the sample
or in other dark/light arrangements much like the traditional Log Cabin
blocks. Easy sewing and lots of design possibilities – what more
could you want?

Dimensional Drunkard’s Path
Here’s a new method for the Drunkard’s Path, also
known as the Wanderer’s Path Quilt, adapted from the Barbara Barber
method in Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine. You won’t believe
how easy this is – no curved seams and you can embellish with
embroidery (or not) before you put it all together. The results are
stunning – and you never pieced a curve!
