Quilt Notes: For illustrations of FALLING TIMBERS and other "drunkard's path" type quilt blocks, and with full templates, and cutting & piecing instructions, see: 65 DRUNKARD'S PATH QUILT DESIGNS, by Pepper Cory, Dover, 1991. FALLING TIMBERS is a marvelous name for this topsy-turvy design, where all is flux. Quilters have been piecing it since at least about 1932, when it appeared in a booklet of "Old and New" patterns (see Barbara Brackman's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PIECED QUILT PATTERNS). Other Drunkard's designs at this site include: BUTTERFLY IN THE GARDEN DEVIL'S PUZZLE DOVE DRUNKARD'S GARDEN DRUNKARD'S PATH FOOL'S PUZZLE REFLECTIONS OF LOVE SNAKE'S TRAIL SUNSHINE AND SHADOWS WHIRLING ARCHES WONDERS OF THE WORLD
