Drunkard's Wife Quilt-Along Week 5: Mimosa

Monday, November 30, 2015

For week 5 of the Drunkard's Wife QAL, we're making the Dutchman's Puzzle Mimosa block. You'll need to cut:

Colored Fabric #1
  • A - (2) - 7.25" x 7.25"
Background Fabric
  • B - (8) 3.875" x 3.875"

As you can see, I forgot to photograph my pieces before sewing them up. Please accept this doodle.

Using (1) A square and (4) B squares, follow this tutorial to make (4) flying geese at one time. They should measure 3.5" x 6.5" when finished. Repeat with the remaining A and B pieces for a total of (8) geese.

What we're supposed to do is lay these (8) geese out as illustrated, sew them into (4) pairs, and sew those quadrants together.

Instead, make some mistakes. Throw that goose for a loop. Shoot it with bird shot. I dunno.

When you're done, your block should measure 12.5" square.
