Happy New Year for 2009 - My Sampler Quilt Blocks

Our Preston quilt guild, The Preston Piecers, is sewing a sampler quilt this year. This block seems appropriate to post today, just in case anyone celebrated too much last night - The pattern has two names: either The Drunkard's Path, or Old Maid's Puzzle, depending on your likes and dislikes. I will be posting the individual blocks over the next few weeks. I have never gone anywhere to celebrate New Year's Eve - just a victim (or not) of circumstances. Actually, we had one of our more enjoyable New Year's Eves last night, because Garrison Keillor's "Prairie Home Companion New Year's Show" was broadcast on Idaho Public Television. We both felt that it was one of the best ways to celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another. Lots of wit and good fun music.

So will every block be a different pattern, but the same fabric? It looks like you started with the hardest. How much time do you have to get the next one done? This is as exciting as a continuing story. Ann is right, it is beautiful!
