Drunkard’s Path Circle Mini Quilt

I mentioned this mini quilt in a post a few weeks ago: Apartment Decorating on a Budget. I’ve been enjoying making mini quilts quite a bit lately, and I love the little pop of color and softness they add to a room. When I made plans to spend a weekend helping my oldest daughter decorate her new apartment, I knew that a mini quilt would be the perfect house-warming gift!

I asked her to tell me what colors she was planning to use in the room, and then I teased her a little that green, brown and black sound an awful lot like camo! Thankfully, this quilt doesn’t look at all like it belongs in a hunting cabin! My younger daughter chose most of the fabrics in a visit to our local quilt shop, Boutique 4 Quilters, and after an encouraging conversation with the shop owner, Anita, I thought I’d try out some curves!These were way easier than I expected! I just drafted up a simple Drunkard’s path template and cut several of both parts from each fat quarter that I was using for the quilt. Once the pieces were cut, I arranged and re-arranged until I was happy with the haphazard look of the layout, then I pieced it all together.For the quilting, I just stitched in circles following the lines of the quilt. I love when the quilting design is easy!Here’s another quick look at the finished mini in it’s spot in Morgan’s apartment. Checking this one off on my 2015 Finish Along list!
