The Drunkard’s Path Table Runner Quilt Pattern, designed by Terry Atkinson, is a refreshing take on a classic curved design — evoking thoughts of clear blue ocean skies, even in the middle of winter. Quarter-circle shapes are cut from five-inch squares using the Creative Grids Round Up Tool, then fused in place, eliminating the need for traditional curved piecing. This technique keeps the project relaxed and approachable while still delivering the flowing curves that make the Drunkard’s Path design so beloved. Because the shapes are fused rather than pieced, this table runner comes together quickly and easily — it’s entirely possible to finish it in an afternoon. The result is a smooth, elegant runner with beautiful movement and a calm, uplifting feel. Finished at 15in x 40in, this runner is perfectly sized for dining tables, sideboards, or entry tables, adding a gentle pop of colour and curve wherever it’s placed.
