Bit too Much Quilt Block

The theme for March Quilt Block Mania is “Drinks”. When it comes to traditional quilt blocks, the drunkard’s path is the most obvious block to match this theme.

The name of this block comes from the curved lines which reminded the original quilters of someone staggering around while under the influence.

Traditionally, it was made with piecing quarter-circles and backgrounds to make the square units, but this easy version uses fusible applique for a more simple construction technique. There are different layout options with the pieces.

“Bit too Much” is an easy drunkard’s path block with added embroidery. Although I don’t recommend getting drunk, I do think this is a fun quilt block.

This block uses piecing, applique and embroidery. It can be used in a quilting project by itself, or with my other embroidered quilt blocks.

You can get this block pattern in my shop.
