Print Drunkard’s Path shapes on fabric instead of using templates for better results, faster.

When you print Drunkard’s Path shapes on fabric, you can sew everything by machine or everything by hand.

Monkey and I prefer to combine hand and machine piecing in a hybrid to get the best of both worlds. We piece Drunkard’s Path curves by hand for a relaxing portable project and then assemble the squares by machine.

Drunkardès Path quilt by Beate with Inklingo

“This is one of my latest bonus quilts. I had printed out way too many sheets as I did not want to run out while in Seattle for our sabbatical last year. Most of the fabrics are Kaffe Fassett.” – Beate in Panama

Beate used the Inklingo Drunkard’s Path 3.5-inch shape collection PDF and her artistic talent to make this stunning quilt. She laid it out like a jigsaw puzzle with help from her daughter. Absolutely beautiful!

IMPORTANT If you are new to Inklingo, please start with the Diamond Triangle Square shape collection PDF. It’s FREE and it includes the first chapter of The Inklingo Handbook.
