The thought did cross my mind that maybe I was mad to say to Vicki at Field Trips in Fiber to count me in with the above Quilt Along, however I decided to carry on regardless but knew the only way I could get through this was to get hold of an Accuquilt Die for Drunkard's Path ( herein referred to as DP by me).
I eventually tracked down one shop in the South Island of New Zealand who stocks the dies and she was just finishing packing to go up country for a big show but very kindly, when I said I just HAD to have a DP die, she hunted it out of her cases for me!! I was pushing it a bit when I asked how quickly she could get this to me - overnight courier and I had it within 24hrs. So this was yesterday and all I have to show so far is below.
I have now decided after pondering all day that I'll work with my huge stash of blacks, patterned blacks mostly by Hoffman from years and years ago but what to go with them? I have a basket with the full original Jinny Beyer Colour Palette range - problem solved!!!!!
So
Some of my black collection, grabbed a piece out of here at random then picked out a JB fabric which would pick up some of the colour in there
lovely raspberry pink
became
the first cut with my die
but haven't yet decided on a layout, I need to put more time in thinking all this out over the next few days.
I'm off to link up now with all fellow "Drunkards" so please follow me over and have a peek.
