I had been collecting Batik Fat Quarters for a few months. I had also bought a couple of one yard cuts from a great sale. I decided to try the Drunkards Path using the templates from Back Porch Designs. There was a class using these at quilt camp this summer.
I was surprised at how easy they were to sew even tough it had curves. I used up all the scraps in the border.
The thread in my HQ broke a couple of times so I changed to a #18 needle---problem solved. I think that will be my standard needle from now on as I did my Christmas quilt using that and not one breakage.

Wow Eileen, was this her Christmas present? It is beautiful.
I always use an 18 in my funquilter also and when I quilt batiks I spray them lightly with silicone spray first and that helps any breakage also.
It is beautiful! What a lovely present!
This is beautiful. What a wonderful heirloom to pass on!
Eileen, it's gorgeous! She must have been thrilled.
Oh my goodness. Your color choices and arrangement are wonderful!
