Angela blogs at Cut To Pieces But even if you haven't visited her blog before (which you totally should because she is amazing!!!) you have probably seen some of her gorgeous works. Remember this Dream a Little Dream mini from that Doll Quilt Swap on Flickr . . . yup, that is Angela's gorgeous work!!
And Angela was the brains behind the ever popular Super Mario Brothers Quilt-A-Long ;)
And she also Won the Sliced Competition hosted by Moda. I still totally want to make that adorable backpack!!!
So ya, Angela. We all know her from her amazing projects and this book is no exception!!! A Quilter's Mixology is an amazing compilation of projects that all add a contemporary twist on the traditional Drunkard's Path Block. I was fortunate enough to attend the Quilter's Mixology School House at Market in spring and see all of the beautiful projects in this book up close :)
There are so many great projects in the book, but I wanted to share some of my personal favorites. The first is the Nini Patch Curves Quilt. I love that Angela took a simple 9 patch block and transformed them into beautiful flowers. And of course, I love the bright happy colors she set against the low volume background, it is just so happy.
The second quilt is the Butterflies quilt. Now this one is simply adorable!!! What a creative way to showcase the drunkard path block!!! When my daughter saw this picture she instantly wanted a bedspread just like it ;) Another one to add to the list ;)
And finally, the Flower Power quilt. I think this was my favorite quilt in the book. I love the bold and yet simple design. And how fun to really highlight some favorite fabrics in such a big way!!!
Now, I know what your thinking, those are all curved quilts!!! But no worries ;) Angela has included in her book step by step instructions on Fearless Curved Piecing!!! It really does go through all the ins ad outs to make you feel confident in piecing curves. And, she even made this video recently for all of those people that like to see it in real time ;)
Drunkard's Path block here I come ;) There are so many amazing projects in the book and each one is such an original and creative way of using the drunkards path block. Angela really did design something for everyone!!! Be sure to follow Angela over at Cut To Pieces because she has the official A Quilter's Mixology blog tour heading for you soon and you will get to see lots more of all her amazing projects in this book!!!

I've never tried the Drunkard's Path blocks, but a long time ago, I bought an antique miniature quilt in a Drunkard's Path pattern. I've been fascinated by it ever since.
ReplyDeleteI love the drunkards path block, but I've never been brave enough to try it. It's on my quilting bucket list!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried them. It's on my list, though. I even have a pattern (ModPop) that I got for my birthday that I'm dying to try, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried them but I am working on a pickledish that has opened my eyes when it comes to piecing curves. I struggle with piecing but somehow the curves are easier for me. I have a bolt of red fabric that would love to turned into a great red and white quilt. Drunkard's path is in the mix of pattern choices. Love the video!
ReplyDeletethank you my dear for your very kind review of me and the book! You make me sound so accomplished. lol Thank goodness I have everyone fooled! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to try the drunkard's path block. I wish the name of the block could be changed thought! Thanks for the opportunity to win the book nridder@hurontel.on.ca
ReplyDeleteI've never tried them before ... I'm still fairly new to the whole piecing/quilting game, and the curves intimidate me. But I have seen a lot of them lately and I love all the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried the drunkard's path block. Angela's book is one I would definitely love to have in my library of quilting books.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of Drunkard's Path blocks but haven't tried them yet. One day!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried the Drunkards Path but love the way some of the patterns turn out. I am a bit scared of sewing those curves. :)
ReplyDeleteI love curved piecing and especially Drunkard's path blocks. I made a supersize 12" quilts out of all purples for couch cuddling and my son, who is also a quilter, made a Snake in the Woods variation in all fall colors that is just fabulous. Pillows on my couch are all Drunkards Path variations. More people should try curved blocks ....after a few you wonder why you were ever scared of them!!!!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of them, but willing to try!!
ReplyDeleteI tried it as part of a sampler quilt I made. It was a slow block with lots and lots of pinning. Seems Angela might have a different way. Thanks for hosting the give away and a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried drunkard path blocks (although I've done a tiny bit of improv curved piecing), but they are most definitely on my bucket list, especially after seeing bits and pieces of Angela's book! Thanks for the fun review!
ReplyDeleteI love doing the drunkards path block. Years ago I didn't enjoy it however now I have my GO machine I enjoy making blocks with that pattern.
DeleteI have done a few quilts with the drunkard blocks and once you get the hang of them they really can be fun and addictive. Thanks for a chance to win this wonderful book. It has been on my wish list since I saw Angela's butterfly quilt. Here background fabric on this quilt was a perfect choice with all the butterflies flying around.
ReplyDeleteI've just recently started to learn about sewing curves and would welcome learning from Angela how how to do them better and more consistently. I haven't tried Drunkard's Path, but I love the various designs that Angela has come up with. She always does such fascinating things.
ReplyDeleteHave not made the drunkards path yet. In fact have not done any circular piecing yet. Hoping to after done sewing for our sons wedding. Thank you for the opportunity.

I've never liked Drunkard's Path, nevermind the thought of curved piecing! But, I'm always eager to try something new, and these new quilt designs are definitely worth trying! I love this modern twist on the Drunkard's Path!
ReplyDeleteI've made a sample Drunkards path but never a complete project. This book could definitely inspire me trove forward.
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried Drunkard's Path yet but after seeing Angela's quilts at Schoolhouse and hearing her explanations, it's moved way up on my list. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love curved piecing. I use Sharon Schamber's piec-lique method. It makes it quick and easy. I've made a few drunkard's path variations using that method. mhart037 at gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove her Dream a little Dream. I have tried Drunkards Path blocks before. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have been petrified to try piecing curves - even sewing triangles on the bias makes me nervous. I am absolutely in love with several of the designs in Angela's new Mixology book so I know I will have to take the plunge to make one or more of these beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteI would love try this pattern used in the beautiful butterfly quilt! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it, but I would like to. I love the butterfly quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried them. They kinda scare me. Thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
I have never tried them but it is something on my quilty to-do list!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried a drunkards path - or any curved blocks for that matter!
ReplyDeleteI tried in 2012 on craftsy with Amy Gibson. It was not as hard as I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteNever tried them!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried them but would love to learn how.
ReplyDeletelag110 at mchsi dot com
Never tried curved piecing, but I probably wouldnt have issues with it since I've been sewing since I'm a young girl and can sew clothes etc.. so curves really doesnt through me that far off kilter!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried the Drunkards Path or any other block that has curved pieces. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have made one drunkards path block. It was years ago in a beginning quilting class through a local shop. We made it using templates and hand piecing - ugh! I didn't like using templates or hand piecing so I have never made another drunkards path block. All the quilts you showed are gorgeous so maybe it is time for me to give this block another try, but with a rotary cutter and machine this time around!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried making a Drunkards Path block but would love to try... This book would inspire me I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteLove Drunkards Path! I have made some variations of my own and find it is very inspiring to twist and turn the blocks and end up with something totally different than I started out creating.
ReplyDeleteGreat review! Not tried a Drunkard's Path block and would love to have this book to help me get over my fear of curves. Thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a drunkard's path quilt currently. I had purchased a template set years ago, but kept putting it off because I did not want to do all the pinning. I found a foot that fits on almost any sewing machine that makes the pinning totally unnecessary. Just match up and sew. Cute book and lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSewed a couple and didn't have real good luck. I think I just need practice.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started quilting the quilt I wanted to make the most was a plain, yellow and white quilt that I admired in the 80's. I tried making that block and totally failed. Then all of a sudden modern technology of Accuquilt came along. I now LOVE Drunkard's Path blocks! It was the precision cutting that worked for me. I also sew them now with the no pin method. LOVE that block! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI find them fascinating but have never mustered the courage to try them. One day I'll make at least one of them, they're on my to-try list. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteDrunkers path and curved blocks are my favorites. I'm one of those weird does that like what others hate, like paper piecing, and, putting in zippers. I am always looking for ways to use curved blocks in all my quilts. Your book looks like it would do the trick. Thanks for sharing your talent.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried, but now I am definitely intrigued!
ReplyDeleteI haven't sewn one yet but do have several patterns waiting to be made. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never even tried a drunkard path block. and really never wanted to try -- until I saw that amazing butterfly quilt
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome Giveaway Melissa -- thank you so much. I've tried some curved pieces but struggled a bit - would love to master it!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, im so inspired to finally give them a try! that book is amazing. I love the Flower power layout! Id love to get this book to give me a boot in the behind and dig in!
ReplyDeleteI've not done any curved piecing before but I'd love to learn!
ReplyDeleteI love the looks of the drunkards path blocks, but have yet to try them. This looks like it may just be the right time. Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteI made a quilt for my granddaughter using them. They definitely get easier as you go along! I made a couple of practice ones first and then started. They became pretty easy once I got the hang of it!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy making drunkards path blocks. Sometimes a challenge, but always fun! Thanks for the give away. robinsheloratearthlinkdotcom
ReplyDeleteI've never tried making them.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried them but would like to.
ReplyDeleteit's on my list of quilts to make
ReplyDeleteI have never tried drunkard's path, but am not afraid of curved piecing
ReplyDeleteI have not made a drunkard's path block however I recently saw a quilt using this block and felt very drawn to it. I would love to win this book to learn more and jump in!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the review and the chance to win.
Michelle
Love curves <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance. I would love to sew some of these designs ;-)
Never tried them. So much in the world of quilting I've never tried. I might get there someday...
ReplyDeleteI love this book. I have actually done three quilts with different versions of a drunkards path.
ReplyDeleteI've never sewn curves, and am pretty scared to try. Maybe a book like this is just the kick in the pants that I need!
ReplyDeleteI made my Grandson a quilt last Christmas using the drunkards path templates borrowed from a friend and liked it so much I went out and bought my own templates. Now I am anxious to use them and want to try the nine patch flower quilt that is in the "Mixology" book.
ReplyDeleteour guild recently did a sew day for charity involving drunkard path blocks using the book by dana at old red barn quilts and they are quite enjoyable for me -- I've also taken a class at one of the conventions one curved piecing and been eyeing this book for a while.
ReplyDeleteI'm just a beginning, so I've never tried them!
ReplyDeleteI have bought the DP templates but that is as far as I have gotten.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried them but my mom loves butterflies so I'd love to try out the butterfly pattern and make her a quilt!
ReplyDeleteI haven't really given them much of a fair shake yet, but they look beautiful in the quilts in the book, which I'd love to have.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've never attempted any Drunkard Path quilts, but am willing to give it a try. The samples you have posted are beautiful and the curves lend such a softness to the quilt. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
ReplyDeletelv2bquilting2@comcast.net
HELLO, no I haven't tried the Drunkard pattern; but won some templates for it>so I must try it soon! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1214@gmail.com
I tried drunkards path blocks for a block of the month about a year ago, but haven't really worked with them since. Maybe it's time to pull that template out again!
ReplyDeleteI've made one quilt with Drunkards' Path blocks, and I enjoyed sewing them! :)
ReplyDeleteNope never tried 'em. Would love to though - I haven't done many curves in my sewing so this would be the time to try!!!
ReplyDeleteI've done a block in a sampler quilt, but never a whole quilt. The book looks rally interesting.
ReplyDeleteI mostly enjoy looking at drunkards path and variations :) I've hand pieced, but not machine pieced any yet. In my mind I know it is not really that difficult ...
ReplyDeleteI have done a Drunkard's Path block in my second quilt which was a 4-block Sampler all done by hand.
ReplyDeleteI find that butterfly quilt amazing. I would never have guessed it was a Drunkard's Path block.
I have never tried to make the Drunkard Path blocks...but I would love to.
ReplyDeleteerin2470@hotmail.com
I love curves! I learned to do them pinless, which is probably the only reason I love them. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried to make a Drunkard Path block but would love to give it a whirl!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried Drunkard Path blocks , but it sounds interesting.
ReplyDeletekdavis1@centurytel.net
I made a drunkards path quilt for my grandmother's 90th birthday many years ago. I enjoyed making it but haven't done any more since. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have sewn one drunkard's path block, and that was on my first quilt… an underground railroad sampler. I've never really liked the block a whole lot, but this updated version is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever sewn a Drunkard Path block.
ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Drunkard's Path.
It's a cool pattern tho:)
I have just started sewing curved pieces. This book looks amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
ReplyDeleteI can add all 3 scenarios: Love em, never tried em, inspired to try them now . . . Love the modern takes on them esp. the :Flower Power" quilt which is now on my "totally must try this" list..
ReplyDeleteLove all the quilts you shared! I made my son's crib quilt with half circles and loved it! My curve master foot helped :)
ReplyDeleteI love the drunkard path's blocks and this book looks exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI havent tried them - I won an Go Baby cutter, and got the drunkards path die, but havent been game to try - maybe now is the time to start!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried the Drunkard Path yet.... thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI'm working my way up to curves. The quilts in this book look doable for a beginner, so that is incentive to start!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried the Drunkard Path yet....
ReplyDeleteNever tried but I'm definitely ready to!
ReplyDeleteI loved that schoolhouse too! I actually enjoyed doing 2 whole retro flowers quilts' worth of curves, so I think it would be fair to say I'm on the 'yay curves' side ;o) Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteNever tried'em, but hope to get the courage up to try them soon!!
ReplyDeleteI've tried them a couple of times but wasn't very successful. Almost ready to give up on curves!
ReplyDeleteThey look tricky... maybe I should make a halloween quilt :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to try sewing with curves, the drunkards path block makes some amazing quilt blocks. thanks for the chance to win a copy of Angela's awesome book!!
ReplyDeleteI have not sewn a drunkards path block but I would love to get Angela's book and learn.
ReplyDeleteI made one Drunkard's Path block for a sampler quilt years ago. Haven't tried a whole quilt of them yet!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried them yet but I'd be willing to give them a try.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried a Drunkard's Path quilt , but the Butterflies jilt is truly an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI have made a drunkard's path quilt but the pieces were rather large so I had no problem sewing the curve! Thanks for the review and giveaway.
ReplyDeletek(dot)castanette(at)Hotmail(dot)com
I have followed Angela's blog for several years now and I'm a big fan of all her beautiful quilts. Her eye for color and use of fabrics is amazing. I would love to try her tricks for simplifying curves and attempt to make a drunkards path block and eventually a whole quilt.
ReplyDeleteUsed to hate them, but now I love them.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried piecing any curves, but would love to give it a go :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never made one, I'm new to quilting so there's still so many on my 'to do' list :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried that block. I'd buy this book just to look at the pictures but I would like to try making a quilt or two. Thanks for the opportunity to try to win a copy. kthurn@bektel.com
ReplyDeleteI have made several quilts with drunkards path blocks, and really like Anglea modern take .
ReplyDeleteI have tried them once and I'm ambivalent about them, I don't hate them but then I'm in no rush to make them again! I wonder whether making a larger block would be easier than the small blocks I made?
ReplyDeleteI started a quilt about 14 years ago, forgot about it, found it 5 or 6 years ago, Made a little progress, but it's still sitting there. I like what I've seen from her book though. Much more inspiring than the traditional drunkards path.
ReplyDeleteI made a 40x40 wall hanging of drunkards path circles. I love the effect and know that I'll make another at some point.
ReplyDeleteI made a drunkard's path quilt last winter...need to get on the ball and enter it in QuiltCon!
ReplyDeleteI have never made a drunkard's path quilt, but they are beautiful! sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteHave never tried making Drunkard's Path blocks....is on my loooong List of Wanna Make's tho! :) They are pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried, but want to learn!
ReplyDeleteI tried them years ago & what a disaster! But only this week I had another go & think I've finally succeeded ! Much more fun now I'm older & wiser ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have never made a Drunkards Path block, sewing curves looks so difficult but I am certainly inspired to try now. Absolutely adore the butterfly quilt!
ReplyDeleteI made a coaster, once with the pattern - I could've done it better and it made me a bit frustrated, like curves often do :)
ReplyDeleteI never tried them, but man, would I like to! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have made drunken path blocks, but by hand and using about 4 pins an inch! I would like to be able to make them more quickly, and by machine.
ReplyDeleteI love the Flower power quilt, and the 9 patch curves: Add them to my list!! And I have done some drunkards path blocks (but of course the quilt isn't finished yet!!) :-D I think I have quilting ADD!! Have a great week!! Hugs, H in Healdsburg
ReplyDeleteI made one traditional DP quilt a couple of years ago - it was a challenge, but very interesting to learn to do. BUT...the designs in this book are amazing and make me want to make more! Thanks for the chance to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty new still and haven't tried them yet, but I would love to learn! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletetdkcarpenoctem@hotmail.com
I have only ever tried curved piecing once and it was a disaster. I love Drunkard's Path blocks so would love to master them.
ReplyDeleteI took a weekend workshop on the Drunkard's Path very early in my quilting adventure... Probably too early. Seeing a couple of reviews for this book recently gives me inspiration to try this block again now that I have a little more experience under my belt. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove drunkards path blocks! by hand or machine. it looks like a great book - thanks for the chance:)
ReplyDeleteI have not yet tried them!!! On my list!! I will get there!! I follow Angela as well! She is a delight to read and so very creative!!
ReplyDeleteMe encantan estos diseños!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMi esperiencia con el sendero del borracho , una tela muy pequeña unida con muchos alfileres, pero al final salio como queria.

I have never tried them! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried them yet. I would love to win this and try some of these quilts.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the Drunkard's Path, but it is on my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteEspecially love the butterfly quilt. Haven't made a quilt with curves, perhaps it's time. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThe first few times I tried the Drunkard's Path block, I thought I would never get the hang of it! I eventually tried it again with another pattern and the Quick Curve Ruler and they actually turned out well. I only made enough for one quilt block though. :D I'd like to make a whole quilt with them one day!
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried one yet but do have a baby quilt cut out using Drunkard's path blocks.........
ReplyDeleteI've done a DP quilt where I cheated an did applique, I also have the large GO die and made a quilt with it, and shamefully I also have a DP plastic template where it's 3 pieces ( like a band in the DP) and I have had this package for years and it's still in it's wrapper!! -hanging head low..... maybe I should BUST it out!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried the drunkard's path.. I don't know if I am ready for it. I guess I have to get my feet wet sometime! better to try and fail than to not try at all..
ReplyDeleteI took a Drunkards Path class and cut all the pieces for al small wall hanging. Then in class we learned how to put them together, and I got abou 5 completed. That was several years ago. Haven't gotten back to that one. It is on my To Do list.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the drunkard's path yet but I'd like to having seen the ideas from this book!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried Drunkards Path, Love it, scared of it! I do a lot of improv curves, but for some reason I get very nervous when I see curved pieceing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the Drunkards Path yet, but I've been eyeing this book since it came out.
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet attempted curves in my quilts....would love this book to make it happen. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI've never made a Drunkards Path quilt.
ReplyDeleteI took a class making a wall hanging with the drunkards path and it was a struggle to sew the curves I now have a foot for my machines which is surposed to make it easier so I am anxious to try more of these patterns as I like the looks.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Drunkards Path - too scared!!
ReplyDeleteNever tried them, but those are some gorgeous quilts - maybe I will be inspired enough to be brave!
ReplyDeleteI have Drunkard's Path plans. Bought the fabric eons ago and planned on cutting out by scissors. So glad there are easier ways now. It's on the (very long) list.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever tried drunkards path because of the curves. Maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteNever tried Drunkard's Path but would like to someday.
ReplyDeleteI've done one quilt with them, turned out beautiful but very time consuming.
ReplyDeleteNever tried 'em - I'm scared of curves. Maybe this book would change my mind. The quilts shown are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteDrunkards Path isn't the easiest block because of the curves but because I have sewed dresses, etc, it comes a lot easier to me. I love a challenge so I will try anything! Thanks for the opportunity to win this book!
ReplyDeleteI have done drunkards paths. After watching the video that you posted I will try this method and hopefully it will make it faster for me. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've made a few blocks with the drunkard path shape, but I've never done a whole quilt with curved piecing. I really love that butterfly quilt though, so I'm wiling to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I have never tried the drunkards path but really want to try it...definitely on my to do list
ReplyDeleteI love them!! There are so many great patterns you can create with them and since I tried sewing them without pins they are super easy and fast to sew!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to quilting and have yet to try them. Who knows...it just might take winning this book to quilt my first one!
ReplyDeleteI did a small quilt with Drunkards path in Halloween Fabric a few years ago- think My Daughter has it now. Would love to make another one. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love Drunkard's Path block and all you can do with them. Even have an idea for a new pattern using them.
ReplyDeleteI have everything set for a drunken path quilt, but the time! lol I love them!!!!!! I think book may have to go on my Christmas list, that is if I don't win. ;)
ReplyDeleteTried them once, got so frustrated that I closed up shop----but I plan on trying again this winter---have a little more quilting experience now :-)
ReplyDeleteI have not tried them yet. But i am planning on trying them soon:-)
ReplyDeleteI have had some experience with the drunkard's path block. Your guild made a turtle quilt where the turtles were formed using drunkard's path blocks. Our guild has also used the drunkard's path for a comfort quilt block. With lots of expert encouragement I found I quite enjoyed making them. Thanks for offering a giveaway of Angela's book. I love the Curved Nine Patch quilt.
ReplyDeletenever tried them!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried any sort of curved piecing yet. I'll be honest - it terrifies me! But her video made it look like it's something I can tackle if I have enough patience. Patience would be key...
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried it yet. But it looks intriguing. Thanks
ReplyDeleteMy very first quilt was a King Size Sampler quilt and I made a drunkards Path block on it. I guess the first I ever heard of the Drunkard's Path was when my son was in Nashville getting treatments for a brain tumor and an older woman who was staying at the same Hospitality House was sewing these blocks by hand for a quilt she was making. She was a beautiful inspiration and I enjoyed seeing her hand work. midwayfarms@hughes.net
ReplyDeleteI've yet to try that block - maybe the book will inspire me!
ReplyDeleteI really really love Drunkard Paths! I made 2 or 3 projects with them already.
ReplyDeleteSusanne
I have made several of the Drunkard Path blocks but have not made a whole quilt with them. I find I just have to take my time with them.
ReplyDeleteI've made several curved piece blocks but not the Drunkards Path. The quilts in the book look very cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to quilting, and curves are super scary!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done a quilt with drunkard path blocks yet...Thanks for all you do with your blog and quilting.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been quilting that long so I've been trying to avoid them but after seeing this, I need to at least try making a block! Thanks for inspiring and encouraging me! The book looks great and I appreciate the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting,

I have tried them during a course and really enjoyed myself. I didn't like my fabric choice though and would really like to try them again. These patterns are so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI have thus far been either not impressed or too intimidated to try it, (also that name-yuk) but these are so lovely, I could be persuaded to at least try.
ReplyDeletethanks!
I've done one with modified drunkard's path blocks, but not the traditional ones!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried them, and am honestly a bit afraid to! The curved seams are a bit intimidating! But, maybe some day :)
ReplyDeleteI've not started on curves yet but this might be the place to start.
ReplyDeleteNever done Drunkards Path, but I love the butterfly top
ReplyDeleteHave made a couple of blocks for a sampler quilt. Definitely not my favorite block to make though I love the look of them.
ReplyDeleteI have never try them, but I will definitely love to! :D
ReplyDeleteI have never tried them --- I am really new to quilting and there are lots of things I need to try. I love Cut to Pieces so I am so excited for Angela.
