Drunkard’s Path, the Easy Way

If you’re like me, there are some quilt blocks that just intimidate me.  How do I do this and make it work?   Well, one of those blocks USED to be Drunkard’s Path.  Wanna know how to make it really easy?  Come a little closer and I’ll tell you.  I learned it from a Quilt Show a while back and it really does work.

Take a 12″ piece of fabric.  Then take a coordinating piece the same size and cut it into a circle.  Place the circle on the other piece and sew down the edges of the circle.  Simple.  Here’s the really easy part.  Take the block that you just made, and cut it in half.  Now cut it in half again.  You will see that you have 4 identical blocks that can be used in a variety of ways.  You now have your Drunkard’s Path block ready to go.  You can do this in 12 inch, 9 inch and 6 inch.  Try and see if it works for you.

Or you can try this one from Donna Jordan’s Fabrics.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWKQDOD9k1c

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy. I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children’s Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy. I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters’ Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs. I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters. Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
