I'm far enough along on Discothèque that two photos placed side-by-side give you an idea of what I'm attempting to do. The plan is to have six columns of color, with each column fading from

Missing: the red-orange column and the black-and-white column. The bonus? Cutting out the background pieces for a Drunkard's Path pattern means you end up with smaller pie-shaped pieces that can be used for another quilt. I'm thinking that one will look very different: brightly colored circles floating on a neutral (white?) background.
Discothèque doesn't know it yet, but she's going to have a baby sister. No idea what to name it, though. Ideas, anyone?

So far, this one's pretty simple. It's just a way for me to play around with a lot of the scraps I have on-hand. The idea is to use the Drunkard's Path templates that Jeff gave me for my birthday, and play with color. It's going to be a child's quilt, simple and bright. I'm turning the wedge pieces inward to create circles. Should be six columns wide; each column will be its own color scheme. I'll fade from dark-interior / light-exterior on one side to the opposite (light-interior / dark exterior) on the other.
Colors are based on the scrap I had lying around: pinky-purply, red, blue, green, brown, and black.
I have an idea of who it might be for, but it's early yet. We'll see.
Oh, the name? The circles and intense colors reminded me of the colored gels used in stage lighting.
