Happy Trails Variations on the Classic Drunkard's Path Pattern

Did you know that a simple quarter-circle set within a square can produce over 65 quilt block variations? Those familiar with the traditional pattern of the Drunkard's Path quilt will know of a few variations. But in this delightful and easy-to-follow book Pepper gives you many examples, including Devil's Puzzle, Mushrooms, Turtles, and Scallop Shells. Her piecing methods are simple, and her hints on sewing and designing are filled with humor. A chapter on the "no-curve Drunkard's Path" is for those who want the look of this traditional favorite but aren't inclined to work with curves. Pepper includes templates for blocks from miniature to king-size, and an appendix with block variations, and then leaves us on the "happy trail" to our own Drunkard's Path quilts.

Pepper Cory started quilting in 1972. Pepper is also an antique quilt collector, teacher, and author of several books on quilting. Pepper lives in Beaufort, North Carolina.
