This is a variation of the basic Drunkard’s path quilt, in that it has two inserted quarter circles in each block instead of a single one. I began the quilt in a class but hated the class; the instructor spent most of her time chatting with a few students whom she knew from before and did little or no real teaching. As a result, I put the pieces of the quilt away for a while, getting them out again over a year later to finish. The colors in it reminded me of Monet’s paintings, so I named it Water Lilies. I machine quilted it with swirls to suggest water in the background area and quilted “petals” in the circles. I finished the quilt in November, 2013, with my usual corded piping next to the binding; it measures 45″ x 45″.
And here is a detail of the quilting:
