Double twirl DP p2p $11.00 USD
An uncomplicated design for a smaller Drunkard's Path block
This pattern is for an individual block - but often they are arranged in a way where you can just click from corner to corner. If the quarter circles are in the centre of the block, that will give one look - whereas if they are on the outside of the block that gives quite another.
Compare the two illustrations for these different looks.

Then there is another block - when the rotation is around the corner registrations - which sounds simple enough, bu actually isn't - because you need the pattern to be mirrored.
Again - this sounds easy enough, but is not just that straight forward as the registration points are not at the mid height of the pattern.

However, all is not lost:
1. On your monitor - repeat pattern one block.
2. flip it vertically and save as a pattern
3. turn on the grid, and turn on 'snap to grid'
4. do one pattern p2p over a set distance on the grid, change to the other pattern and register that over the same distance on the grid - starting where the other one finished
5. combine the pattern and save
- you are ready to go! The new pattern should look like the pattern with the two repeats on the left.
The centre points are ignored and you register from corner to corner in the block. (red to re and blue to blue in the illustration)

Tips & Info
- the additional pattern this block is shown with is Double Twirl DP p2p. This was to keep all the 'flowers' in the light (or dark) areas - when the colour values were reversed
