The shapes in a Drunkard’s Path quilt block can be arranged in different patterns to make a stunning array of designs—each with a different name!
“This is one of my latest bonus quilts. I had printed out way too many sheets as I did not want to run out while in Seattle for our sabbatical last year. Most of the fabrics are Kaffe Fassett.” – Beate in Panama
Beate used the Inklingo Drunkard’s Path 3.5-inch shape collection and her artistic talent to make this stunning quilt. She laid it out like a jigsaw puzzle with help from her daughter. Absolutely beautiful!
