How to Make Drunkard’s Path Quilt Block:
Step 1
Cut one 6-inch green square, one 9-inch white square, one 6-inch light-volume print square, and an interfacing square. Find the center of the square, then trace a circle on the wrong side of the fabric, and turn the square around before placing the fusible interfacing on top with the sticky side down.
Step 2
Sew around the line, then cut the excess fabric at ¼ inch from the stitching line, and make small incisions all around. Make a small cut in the fusible interfacing and turn it inside out, then poke the edges, find the center of the square, and place the circle in the center. Press the circle so that the fusible sticks to the fabric, then pin them together in place, and set it aside.
Step 3
Repeat the steps to make more similar pieces, then sew around the circles very close to the edge, and cut the excess fabric at the back of the circle. Cut each square into 4 equal parts, then rearrange them into different blocks as demonstrated in the video, and stitch them together pressing the seams as you go.
