Summer Solstice Block

I'd like to think that I am pretty good at piecing anything, but the drunkards path block was not my cup of tea. Those curves take forever because of all the pinning I needed to do to keep an accurate seam allowance. As I was sewing the drunkards path blocks together I noticed that one side doesn't fit as well on the small piece. Since the cut pieces are on the bias I didn't want to stretch it too much so I ended up clipping about an 1/8" along the curved side that doesn't fit well. It made it so much easier to sew.

I am making a large quilt so there was a lot of cutting. I have a feeling there will be a lot of leftover drunkards path pieces to make a small project once I am done putting the quilt together. The cutting took a while because I decide to make the Summer Solstice quilt look scrappy. I pulled out all of my 30's Reproduction prints that I've been stashing away and used all of it and wouldn't you know it? I end up with more scraps..lol. I stayed up late to sew and get this block done since night time is really when it's really quiet and I can focus on what I am doing.
Almost forgot to tell mention the half square triangles along the border. The instructions call for half square triangles, but I decided to make flying geese units instead. It makes for less trimming. I also had to re-arrange the way I pieced the block together to accommodate for the change.

Have a wonderful day! You can see more quilt blocks over at Melissa's blog.
