Not long ago (I've only been blogging for a bit more than a month now!) I put an image of this quilt top out there on the internets.
I got a very nice comment from jeninemd saying that she loved my colors and the drunkard's path pattern. I was *this* close to responding, thanking for her kind remarks but, (please insert slightly condescending tone here) it isn't a drunkard's path. It is 4-patch circles appliqued onto a...solid.....background...... Wait a minute! It is a drunkard's path! I thought I was being so clever, pushing beyond the pattern, coming up with something new. All I did was reinvent the drunkard's path!!!
It goes to show that there really isn't much out there that is really NEW. When something really NEW comes along, it is like a breath of fresh air. I have a lot of fun with my quilting, but I don't think that I will be lifting anyone's kites!
Here is the second top I got from the same layer cake. Not new, but bright and pretty and very different from the first one.

The other day my partener was taking about "Drunk people walking around" quilt. i really had no idea what he was going on about. Then he said the one with circles!! I laughed so much. Still he gets lots of points for trying!!
