Curved Piecing with Patricia Belyea

I am in the midst of taking Patricia Belyea's class called Creativity & Complex Curves.  I've been wanting to take this class, which has been an immersive, in-person week long class but is now virtual due to the pandemic, so this actually works better for me. 

I have completed two projects so far, but I'm also getting some great inspiration for things I'd like to do after the class is over.

Pondering Drunkard's Path

I grew up enjoying an heirloom quilt that was given to my parents as a gift, made by the ladies in their church.  It was a Drunkard's Path pattern, made with two fabrics, white and sky blue (if my memory serves me).  The quilt was just gorgeous and had the perfect weight and drape after years of washings and use.

Here are my thoughts on getting beyond the details of the planning and getting to the doing of making one for myself.

Perfect Pieced Circles

Today I tried out a technique I've seen others use for making a pieced circle block. My first attempt was not so great, but my second attempt was almost perfect!
