Re: Drunkards Path (again)

I am in the process of making a Drunkard's Path II quilt.....The directions are quite simple. Your fear of the circles holding up after washing I think are unfounded really. The circles 8"(inch) circles are attached to the 10" (inch) square using Heat N Bond ( feather lite ) and then of course with the quilting stitching I doubt that this quilt will fall apart despite washings.
Jenny used a blanket stitch around the circles after she applied the heat and bond.....then of course as the video states, she cut the squares, and then arranged the pattern
I watched the tutorial 3-4 times while I was waiting for my fabrics to arrive etc. OF course after putting the quilt together, then quilting it ( whether you do it or have it quilted ) I really can't see it coming apart as I mentioned above.
As an beginner quilter ( I am experienced in garment construction ) I have never created a quilt , and this is going to be my first quilt. I have made several quilt squares while waiting patiently for my order to arrive ( plus I ordered some new tools etc. )
I would follow Jenny's directions as far as the tutorial, no use making extra work for yourself that you don't have to ! I love the fact that Jenny tried to make quilting an easy "fun" experience for us all.....
I hope this helps......I am going to make my Drunkard's Path II in Purple and White solids.
I have been so blessed with everyone being so nice to answer my questions about this quilt, from the Center Circle Cut Ruler (make sure you get the 18 mm rotary cutter to cut the circles ) not mention that the Feather lite Heat & Bond was suggested for the circles too.
I am confident that I can make this quilt without too much trouble. Just watch the video a few times, get the products that Jenny recommends, and have fun !!
I hope this helps.....
