I did it! I finished sewing ALL 325 blocks together for the Drunkard's Path quilt~a~long! And, on time! Happy dance!!
I have to admit that not all of my blocks look this pretty. Although they are all sewn together I still have piles of blocks that look like this...

The hard part is over for me. Sewing all of the curved seems definately took me WAY out of my sewing comfort zone. After conquering so many blocks I might even dare to call myself a pro at it (well, maybe not yet but definately closer!). I am looking forward to getting all of these small blocks sewn into larger blocks and then into a quilt top. Now that there are only straight seems left to sew it should go by rather quickly, whew!
It's not too late to join in over at OCD {Obsessive Crafting Disorder} or Needle and Spatula. Come on, it will be fun!

These look great! I have a lot of squaring up to do, some of my edges are off by a good quarter inch, but I figure it will all work out! That's what happens when you sew that many curves...mind starts to wander, precision starts to wane....if I am cursing at the next step, that is why!
