| Curvy Paths |
This is a Drunkard's Path variation, in
reds and blacks, to which I added a red border and then appliqued a
dog tooth border using a blind hem stitch.

In 2009 and 2010, I followed along with
Leah Day's The Free Motion Quilting Project. After making many
little 4” squares, I wanted to actually use several different
stitches in one quilt.
 |
| Curvy Paths - back |
I outlined the curvy paths from the
front of the quilt and then flipped it over and quilted it from the
back. This was mainly because the top was so busy, it was hard to
concentrate on the quilting designs.

I alternated silver grey and a gold rayon threads in the “paths” and background. I consider this table topper reversible and have used it as such. Actually, I just may like the back better than the front.

I love both the front and the back. The black and red combo are very striking, and the quilting shows so well on the back. Both are amazing. I'm just now learning soooo much from Leah Day. Happy to see your work with her in influence.
Both sides are great! Reds with Black & Gray have always caught my eye, but I like the back where you can see the quilting - nicely done!
Gorgeous quilting, Terry! Great on both sides now :-)
Stunning Drunkards Path, it used to be an old fav....now you have reinspired me! Thanks!
very nice quilt!
I love both sides...but the back is my favourite I think:)
Magnificent. My first die for my cutter is Drunkards Path and I have some cut in a shoebox from my ds's wedding quilt. This makes me anxious to get that ufo done!
I love Drunkards Path and curves. Probably my favorite old pattern. Great quilting.
Love your quilting!
Fabulous piece, your quilting is very effective!
Fantastic, the fabric choices as well as the quilting. A very striking, modern interpretation of this old pattern.
okay - now would you hate me if I said I like the back better than the front? grin! the use of line is really effective!
Love the back!
It's VERY wonderful...either way!
There is great artistry in your quilting! The back is beautiful! I like the idea of stitching on the back so you could see the designs clearly. Thanks for sharing that small but very helpful tip!
