It's a Flimsy!




Drunkard's Path
84 x 96

Otherwise known as:
Down the Beaten Path
Let the Chips Fall Where They May

224 six inch blocks...

 ...sewn together randomly...
...in a 14 x 16 layout. 

I haven't really looked but I don't think I have anything suitable for a backing. I'm hoping I will be able to piece one together from bits and pieces. What I would really like is a stripe and polka dot four patch backing.

I exceeded my March OMG (One Monthly Goal) which was to complete 36 six inch Drunkard Path blocks so I would have a total of 224+ for a quilt top.   I made goal and then assembled the top too!

    Wow, this is one incredible quilt top! I don't think you even started it that long ago to have it finished so soon. That's a lot of stripes and polka dots! Great finish!

    Love it! This is one of those blocks that really shapes up nicely when sewn to its neighbors. All the circles line up so well and become neat and orderly, allowing the wild and fun colors and spots and stripes to dance :)

    I love your uber-colorful quilt top -- and I like Down the Beaten Path as a name. Not sure why, I just do. I have some lime green and hot pink checkerboard yardage that I'll contribute for part of the backing (just let me know if you'd like it)
