A gorgeous Drunkards Path Amish quilt!
Ascribed to the Drunkards Path Quilt pattern are several meanings: the Drunkards Path was meant to symbolize a drunk’s staggering walk. So these these quilts were made to promote the abolition of alcohol. Thus, the pattern became prominent in the late 19th century. Earlier this pattern was associated with the Underground Railroad: the pattern, by mapping routes and marking safe houses, was used to help escaping slaves find their way to freedom. One thing is certain, this pattern presents quilters with a challenge. The zigzag pattern made of curved pieces of fabric is difficult for all but experienced quilters.
