    Love It! I have been eyeballing Drunkard's Path patterns, and actually ordered a template. I think I will replicate your design--it's so cute. No idea how to add a border, though. Would I use a third coordinating fabric?

    Very nice and your blocks are so precise. I think a border would frame up your beautiful work

    Great Drunkard’s Path. I own a vintage one and it has no border. Yours is beautiful.

    Beautiful quilt. Most times I prefer a border, not always for most of my donation quilts.

    Great job on a Drunkard's Path. Love that pattern, as a little girl I had a quilt that was hot pink and white. The pink had faded into the white and I thought it was so clever like it had been painted in a fade wash.

    I ordered that die for my Accuquilt today! I have always loved drunkard’s path blocks, but between my cutting and sewing issues, I never tried one. My piecing has improved over the years, but my cutting not so much so😳. Love my Accuquilt.

    You will love the die! The notch for the center of each piece makes this block so easy to assemble. I know I will be making this block many times over. Was worth the investment for the die. I might even consider the other size too. Not now. I have others that I need to play with.

    Drunkard’s Path quilts aren’t so much fun! You could make hundreds of these quilts without repeating a pattern. Pinterest abs Google will give you a good start. And they are really fun to make. I pin at the beginning of the curve, at the end of the curve, in the middle and between if needed. Yes, I’m a pinned but it saves me from using “certain” words😁😁😁
