 The
Drunkard's Path pattern is a mainstay of historical quilt collections.
The pattern traditionally involves only two colors and two "simple" blocks
... simple except for the fact that they involve curves! The technique
shown below makes these blocks a snap through our pieced-by-appliqué
approach. The Drunkard's path blocks can be arranged in a nearly
infinite number of layouts. In Mary Henderson's book, a streamlined
assembly process is presented for six of the most popular layouts.
|
|
Cut
fabrics and interfacing into squares.
Place interfacing on dark fabric.
|
|
Stitch on the printed solid lines -- both curves.
|
|
Cut on the dashed lines
(between stitches).
Flip-turn right sides
out.
|
|
Fuse pieces onto 4-1/2" squares of light fabric.
|
|
Zigzag stitch arcs to
background.

The
book provides easy instructions for assembling blocks into six different
layouts. Solomon's Puzzle, Lone Ring, Hound's Tooth, Falling Timbers,
Rocky Road to Dublin, and Cleopatra's Puzzle
