This week I gave myself a deadline to finish a (Christmas!) quilt gift for my friend in time for a lunch date we had in the diary.
It was always going to be an improv quilt but it turned into a Drunkard’s Path Quilt over the course of the week.
This video is the story of how the quilt evolved, how I faced my fear of sewing curves and then me going on for probably far too long about how self-imposed deadlines can help your creativity!

ACCUQUILT DRUNKARD’s PATH DIES -
Drunkard’s Path 4” finished die bundle: shrsl.com/3wzk2 (these are what I used for the smaller blocks)
Drunkard’s Path 7” Finished die: shrsl.com/3wzk6 (This is a little smaller than the big one I used but it was the biggest I could find on the Accuquilt site just now).
The @davescraftroom VIDEO I mentioned that gave me some inspiration:
