A Shortcut to Drunkard's Path: Easy Applique Curves

Friends know how much I love quilt books. I am amazed at how many they bring to my attention that I don't have. I have done the Drunkard's Path a couple of times using the templet starch method and was sure this was the best way to do that pattern. Well, I am going to try what I learned from this book because I'll be the first one to say "there is always another way to do anything." Glad to add this to my collection.

The squares were very easy to put together. I am amazed at how many different looks can be created from one simple square. You can use the same technique over and over and have a different quilt each time. I can't wait to do more.

You'll find yourself reaching in your bookshelf and pulling out this book over and over. This book not only has an outstanding cover that simply will intrique you to make the Drunkard's Path, but twins, Ann and Amy take all that frustration and guesswork out of making this hard looking pattern. Their directions are easy and precise and that is something I appreciate when trying out a technique. The pictures are clear and colorful, another appreciation when I buy a book. My favorite Quilt Pattern? Martini and Rosey on Page 70. I raise my glass and toast these girls to another wonderful quilt book in my bookshelf. I can't wait to add their newest book "Scraps of Time"... Linda M. Poole Milford, PA

The reviewer below states that the applique technique used was spray basted and fusible interfacing used. When in actuality, the technique taught in this book does NOT use spray baste AT ALL. Also, Fusible interfacing is NOT used in this technique....it wouldn't work.

This book has some great ideas for quilting groups/bees. Nice quilts and projects.
