I do the Drunkards Path different than most people.
Most people use a template to cut the half circles etc. I simply applique a circle to a square and then cut into fourths. I personally like the appliqued circle with a zig zag stitch. This adds to the pattern and defines each piece. It takes me hours to arrange on my quilt board the pattern. I am very fussy placing each piece next to the other to arrange a pleasing color combination.
Again, you need to imagine these photos brighter and more vibrant. I've decided it's not the camera, it's the lighting in my house.

I realize you posted this a few weeks ago, but this is my first time visiting your blog. I don't normally care for the Drunkard's Path pattern, but absolutely LOVE your quilt! Great colors, love the zig zag stitches and the border. Can I ask what size squares and circles you started with? I may just have to try this one out! Thanks for sharing.
Joan, I used a 6 1/2" square and made a template circle of 5 3/4". The hardest part is centering this circle onto the square, but after doing a few times it gets easier. Good luck and hope you enjoy making this quilt as much as I do. By the way all squares were done with scraps, only had to purchase border materials and of course backing.
