Weighing Options

This month's block in the Basics quilt along was the Drunkard's Path, but pieced together in a "cheating" sort of way.

Pro: No curved piecing.  I try to avoid curved piecing when possible.
Con: Raw edges.  I also try to not have raw edges, because I don't particularly like the frayed edges.
Pro: Way less time consuming, and I've never tried it before which is always fun.

The pros won.  I don't have the time to fuss with curved edges, and technically I'm trying to stick with the techniques she's sharing, so I went with the cheating method.

I had some tension issues with my thread around the first curve, so I re-thread everything and then I was good to go, but you can see the difference in tension between the 2 circles prior to cutting.  This is what the three blocks ended up looking like:
