Crow’s Foot, Drunkard’s Path & Shoofly Blocks

March 31, 2015 by childlikefascination

This month I was excited to finish both February and March’s blocks for the Moccasin BOM hosted by AnneMarie of Gen X Quilters. You can check out my January blocks in a previous post: Lady of the White House

Moccasin BOM February & March

March’s blocks were the two shoofly and the crow’s foot. The crow’s foot is certainly my favorite of the bunch. I used the two different greens inside cause I like how they’re the same tone as the green solid on the outside.

Imperfect curves are better than an unfinished block

February’s block was curves; a drunkard’s path to be exact…and it didn’t go so well, which is why I procrastinated quilt a bit on them. My last of the curves came out better than the first and I unpicked a few but then after cussing and throwing a few pieces of fabric across the room I took the “imperfect curves are better than an unfinished block” approach. Maybe I’ll revisit it later in the year.

    Out of curiosity, how big are the curved pieced blocks? They look pretty small and daunting to me!

      They’re just under 3″ – they were daunting and looking back I should have done a larger curve as my very first foray into curves but that’s what the pattern calls for!

    Fun colours!! Great choice with using two greens along with the green background on the crow’s foot block. Your curve piecing looks great to me. I am sure once you finish the quilting, you will not even notice any mistake in them πŸ™‚

      Thanks Soma! I’m figuring that’ll probably be the case, that quilting will hide any mistakes in the curved pieces.

    Curves make me nervous, too. The ones you showed off looked so good! I love the block with the curved piecing–the movement of it is so fresh.
