On the right Path!

I finally started my new quilt Path to Tallahassee, and I can tell this is going to be a very long project!

It starts with foundation piecing.....

a mere 16 of these blocks just to make one -12 inch block!!

or so I thought.......

you know that little one inch reference square on patterns?...I

probably should not have said "oh yeah, looks like an inch"

So..............

I now have a block that will measure 11 inches finished

love, love this Tallahassee block even with all the work it takes. And I think the Circle of Friends 1930''s style fabric looks great with it.

I was planning to use Kona snow or white, but at the last minute, I remembered that I had this gorgeous linen which adds some beautiful texture to the block...

it's helping me get over my measuring goof up!

The second block in the Path to Tallahassee is a Drunkard's Path....hence the Path part of the name!

I have a Go!baby with a DP die, so fabric cutting is very quick, and having just finished a DP quilt, my muscle memory for sewing the curves is still intact!!

Naturally, this is a 12" finished block.......so trimming was in order to match it to my stupidity of the Tallahassee block.....

I think it turned out pretty cute as well

I very briefly considered starting over with the correct sizes, but I had already printed and scored dozens of pages for Tallahassee, so I really didn't want to do that...

I also like that the trimmed petals of the DP put them closer together,

So, maybe it will be all good!!

Since I haven't decided on a size or layout for this quilt, I'll just keep making blocks until I am sick and tired of them!
