I thought this fabric would be cool made up into a drunkard's path quilt. It makes me drunk just looking at it. I have two different color. What do you think?
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? |
Love the fabrics - don't think I'd like it for a Drunkard's Path, though.
|
Should be great !! I love blue and brown together!

I say booze it up!
|
I think it would be cool, but I would choose one and pair it with a solid maybe burnt orange? Or an orangy batik?
|
make a couple of blocks for it and see how you like it.
|
I think it would look neat if you paired the white with brown stripes to a dark brown and paired the other one to a tan brown. Lay it next to them and see how it look. I think if you just use these to fabrics its going to make people dizzy to look at it. But I do think the fabric would make a great effect.

Putting them together will probably not give you the contrast the DP suggests. I'd go with either and a solid.
|
Oh! I guess I wasn't clear. I meant to pair them up with a solid color and make two separate quilts!
|
Oh - PERFECT!
|
This is the first blue and brown that I like together. It will be good.
I am doing a dark, dark blue and bright orange for my GS and wife in the Drunkards path pattern. Sort of Asian fabrics and they are Japanese and Cambodian so it is their choice. I only have a couple of blocks done but I like it. If I can take a photo of a block I will post it. |

Personally, I think you're going to totally loose both the impact of the fabric AND the impact of the DP block...but I do like the fabric. Make up a 16 patch and see what you think before committing to a whole quilt, let alone two of them.
|
maybe use in the border but not in the block
will distract from the block my opinion :-D |
Suggestion ... audition it.
cut drunkard path holes in sheets of paper or cloth in the contrast color you plan to use, lay it on the fabric. Or cut a few pieces. It sounds like a good idea, but IMHO, you are going to lose the impact of both the drunkard's path pieces AND your wavy fabric. (cool if I'm wrong, tho) |
Love them!!!
|
love those fabrics
|
Id love it...after all dizziness goes with drunkardness doesn't it?...lol
|
if you add solids, i wouldn't use blue. i like the fabrics though.
|
I am drunk looking. It should work.
|
I'd love to see the finished quilt.
|
I love both pieces of fabric. I would use a lighter brown and a medium blue solids. I am with you, I feel like I am drunk when looking at fabric. Jeanniebelle
|

I don't think you need to do anything with those fabs -I feel drunk scrolling slowly past them. They made me feel dizzy

OOPS!
|
Audition them first..let us look again!
|
Can't visualize it but that fabric would make me to dizzy to work on it.
|
WOW I see how that would make you drunk just looking at it. I think that if you like it for a drunkard's path then you need to make one. In my opion I don't think that I could sew with this one. LOL LOL Love to see what it looks like when you are done with it.
