Second Chance Circles is a striking quilt pattern designed by Terase of Cooee Quilting.

It began when some Drunkard’s Path blocks did not behave quite as expected—so Terase gave them a second chance by slicing, rearranging and piecing them into bold interlocking circles.

The design is ideal for showcasing a varied collection of light- and dark-value fabrics. Ten-inch squares and layer cakes work particularly well, making this a terrific pattern for giving favourite fabrics a fresh opportunity to shine.
