off the drunken path [a go! baby tute]

this post is a tutorial for the mini quilt i shared earlier this week.  i'm calling it "off the drunken path" - - fitting, right? :)  i would also like to thank the folks at accuquilt for giving me the opportunity to try out their go! baby cutter!  i have really enjoyed the drunkard's path die--especially because i would have never tried this block without the go! baby cutter!  thanks!

Off the Drunken Path Mini Quilt

Finished Size: 19.5" x 19.5"

 

 

Fabric Requirements

 

• 10 -- 3 3/4" squares of assorted prints
• 8 -- 3 3/4" squares of a solid print
• 6 -- 6 1/2" x 10" of a solid print
• 8 -- 6 1/2" x 10" of assorted prints

Cutting!

 

 

1.)  Layer 6 1/2" x 10" fabric  pieces (I recommend cutting 4 layers at once) between the Go! Baby drunkard's path die and cutting mat.

 

 

2.) Feed the Go! Baby die, layered fabric, and cutting mat into the Go! Baby cutter and crank, crank, crank! 

 

 

3.) And Ta-Da! You'll have super fast and easy drunkard's path blocks cut in no time at all! :)

 

Now, there is a little bit of fabric waste...

 

 

...but considering how fast I was able to cut these blocks out, it didn't bother me one bit.

 

Sewing!

 

 

1.) Line up your blocks (pair one print with a solid!) using the handy dandy notches made by your Go! Baby cutter.

 

 

2.) Pin, pin, pin.  Then sew using a 1/4" seam allowance and press.  I pressed my seams towards the larger curved piece of the drunkard's path block.

 

 
3.) Next, cut your blocks down to 3 3/4" square.
 

 
4.) Now taking your trimmed drunkard's path blocks and the assorted 3 3/4" squares (of prints and solid).  Piece your mini quilt top together following design above (or create your own!).
 

 
5.) Quilt, bind, and done!
