I have this awesome idea for a quilt for D…

so I tested the block by making a throw pillow for the living room…
the back is just bright turquoise minkee, but the front is this block:

isn’t it cool?
It’s sometimes called Snake Trail, or Drunkard’s Trail (NOT drunkard’s path, which I also love)

you can put a ton of these blocks together into a GIANT maze….
I used scraps to string the middles, and the blueish-grey is from a pair of C’s pants that he loved but got too much paint splattered on them…. and the black is linen from an old, tattered pair of his pants…
I tested lots of quilting designs, quick and dirty, and then the kitties decided that they were allowed to walk all over it with their muddy paws…
