## <mark style="color:blue;">The Two Drunkard's Path Block Units</mark>

**Drunkard's Path** block units can be traditional or modern. For now, each type will need to be constructed differently in PreQuilt in order for it to auto recognize them for fabric calculations.

There are two curved pieces that make up both versions of the Drunkard's Path blocks: a convex piece and a concave piece.&#x20;

Once pieced, the convex piece of the **traditional Drunkard's Path** block unit does not fully overlap the concave piece or fill the square bounding box of the block. In the **modern Drunkard's Path** block unit, the convex piece will extend all the way to the edge of the finished block (with the edges of the concave piece hidden in the seam allowance once pieced to its neighboring blocks).
