That’s the name of my latest finished quilt! It came from a pattern by Elisa’s Backporch, and it’s yet another Drunkard’s Path layout. I began this ages ago, finished the top, and then let it languish while I decided how I wanted to quilt it.
A year or so later, I got back to it. I quilted the feathered quarter-circles and their backgrounds on my Bernina 630 before packing it all up for the Christmas season, when I knew I’d be too busy to continue. I used gold metallic thread for these feathers and cream or black Aurifil 50wt. cotton for the backgrounds.
Right after that is when I bought my new Bernina 780, so I switched gears a bit. The feathered swags in the larger pink areas, as well as the borders (see above), were done on the new machine. All of the pink areas were quilted with a matching Aurifil 50wt. cotton thread.
And here is one of the two central pink sections with the curved cross-hatching and feathers. I also embroidered the label on the new 780, but I didn’t take a photo of that.
Hmmm … this makes *five* Drunkard’s Path quilted projects I’ve done. Maybe I should try for a little variety? 😉

Beautiful quilt and gorgeous machine quilting.
Thanks, Phyl! 🙂
Great quilting – it really adds to the quilt!
Thanks, Susan! It was fun to do, but I’d reverse the feathers and cross hatching in the borders if I had it to do over again. 😉
I’ve never seen a drunkard’s path like that one. Love the layout and your quilting is wonderful!
Thanks, Lori! The layout is what first attracted me to the pattern. And thanks for your kind words about my quilting, too! 🙂
What a great quilt! Fun and fresh!
Thanks, Cheryl! I really enjoyed making it. 🙂
