Drunkards Path Quilt Pattern PDF, Modern Sunset Quilt, Drunkard's Path Block pattern, charm pack pattern, curved piecing quilt pattern

Make a beautiful sunset quilt using drunkard's path blocks. This is a PDF pattern for a throw sized quilt that finishes at about 50 x 74 inches.

This pattern uses curved piecing in Drunkard's path blocks and includes templates for the blocks and a link to a YouTube video tutorial on sewing curves.

This is an intermediate level sewing pattern that assumes some experience with quilt making.

Five Star Pattern Review: "Love the ease and clarity of the pattern. Anita has included a video link to help w/cutting and piecing curves. It was extremely helpful since I've not cut or sewn half circles or curves before. She's also been available by email for my questions and always responds expeditiously. Great tips for scaling the pattern to my size template also." - bluestarof2

*Note: Sample quilt was made using two charm packs of Simply Colorful by V & Co. for the suns (quarter circles) and a mix of fabrics from my stash for the sky pieces (background). Five inch strips were cut from fat quarters or fat eighths and put through the die cutter to get four pieces out of each strip.
