Here are the last two blocks of the QCR QAL: #11-Drunkards Path and #12-Spools. These are my scrappy versions.
And here are my official versions. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough fabric for the last block. So when I saw how scrappy the spools were, I had to chuckle. I could make that work easy-peasy.
Taa Daa! Here are all the blocks together! I just laid them out in the order they were made-from what I could remember without looking it up. I love it!
And the scrappy version. I'm happy with this version too. I'm glad that I decided to make two versions as I did make a few adjustments here and there before doing the "real" blocks. And now I have another quilt! A couple of my most favorite blocks would have to be the log cabin and the star (the #10 one). But I do like them all!
Now-the hard part- how to put all these pretty blocks together?? Jenny made up a really neat curved border to put around each block. But I don't have enough fabric left to do that with my official version. So maybe the scrappy version?? mmmm. maybe not... I guess I could actually BUY some fabric to do it, but I'm not sure what I'll do. What I will probably end up doing is stashing my blocks away and wait to get some inspiration from everyone else in the Flickr group. :)

I really do love these blocks. I like the official version the best.
Would straight sashing look to 'harsh' against all the curves or would it be a nice contrast? Solid sashing?
Both these quilts are great. I am in love with sampler quilts and these are a fabulous example of why.
Really beautiful! Love it when things work out!
love your official blocks! Maybe we can pow wow sometime on how to tie them together
