Several traditional quilt block patterns have been inspired by travel: Wagon Wheel, Country Roads, Ships at Sea, Crossroads, Wandering Foot, Trade Winds, Road to Berlin. The list goes on and on. I think it’s deep in the blood to yearn for new scenery; to long for what you haven’t seen. The block above is called Winding Ways, and so is the quilt top below. The one with straight seams was quick and easy. The one with curved seams wasn’t much harder because I used AccuQuilt Go die-cut pieces. When I tried later on to duplicate the curved pieces with templates and a rotary cutter, the results were disastrous. I don’t see any way to save those poor, misshapen blocks, and I don’t think I’ll show them to you. But they might make a nice bonfire someday.
