Fabric is pretty cool, but the Drunkards Path is my least favorite quilt.

I can't visualize how this will look in a Drunkard's Path, but agree with those who suggested using it as a border. I also think it would make a good backing for lots of patterns. I just can't visualize how it will look when cut into small pieces. Mariesto

I had to come back and clarify that I plan to pair these fabrics up with a solid. Probably a blue on one and a brown on the other. Now, what do you think?

I would just love to see this and its reverse pattern, made into a drunkard's path.... I bet it is one of those
"Who would of thought?" fabrics !
...or match it with a plain same bluish for impact. (The harmony would be good.) and plain brown of the same shade would work for the other - just try samples.

I could see making those waves 'work for you' in a different pattern. I'm not feeling the Drunkard's path, though....

That sounds like a workable trial. Being a "newbie", I've never thought of making a copy of fabric. This board is fabulous. I learn something new daily!
