Try getting the book shown in this link. Maybe you find a pattern you like.

There was a funny little tool that made those curved seams like 60. I saw it at the Chicago quilt show. I didn't buy one as I don't care for drunkard's path pattern. Maybe someone else can help you find that.

I consider Trader Joe's "2 Buck Chuck" wine an essential quilting tool for most projects......

I think Latrinka has a good idea; try several arrangements before you rip one stitch. You may not have to rip at all.

Put it away for a few weeks (or months) and forget about it. Then get it out and see if you still hate it. After being away from it for a while, you might like it.

do you know that I replied with a quote on this thread and it was cancelled TWICE, bc it said my message was too short.
what's up with that?
I thought some of the replies were rather funny and helping a sister/brother quilter find some humor when they are feeling a bit down is one of the reasons we are all here, right?
sorry, your d. path is misbehaving. I used to think I didn't like the pattern, but it has grown on me.
I would rather it was called something else, but then it is wonky/crooked isn't it?

There is a reason it's call Drunkard's path, and you may have stumbled onto it. Put it down and rethink it for a bit before you start ripping. Good luck and post pics please... with or without the wine.

Heehee - once again, lost of good advice. I like the D Path because it does morph into many designs - probably what got me into trouble in the first place!

Let me go back to my design wall and look at some links and books as advised... maybe the wine will help because it might make me LIKE the derned thing!!!!!
