is there a specific template for the drunkards path pattern/block?

I am unsure. I haven't done one yet. I know there are templates for it but, idk if they have different ones for different sizes.

There are, like, a dozen out there on the market right now.

Some come in sets, like those from Louisa Smith - from her Strips and Curves series of quilts/books:

Scroll down.
These are pricey but come in multiple sizes that fit together, which allows for a lot of variety.

or the Backporch templates:

Come in different sizes. I see she has a new all-in-one square-up ruler.

You can go to Joann's, where they have 2 piece sets, although a rather large size, iirc.

There is also interfacing by Quiltsmart, where you never have to sew the curve. Drawback is only one size, but depends on your project.

Or course, you can just make your template from mylar, if you're so inclined, and use a square ruler you already have in your collection.

When I taught a curved class, we used variations of all of the above. It's always good to know a variety of methods.

Bottom line, though:
The key to success is really knowing how to sew a curved seam (either pinning, no pinning, rulers, mylar, registration marks, whatever the method) more than anything else. You can have the fanciest rulers - or even have your pieces die-cut on a Go or Sizzex - but if you can't get that curve, it will show it.

There is a book called, "The Path Less Travelled,", by Betty Kiser, all about DP quilts.

A quick easy way. Cut a 4.5 inch circle out of fabric, cut a 4 inch cardboard template, put the template on the circle and do a running stitch all the way around. Pull the stitching up so the fabric encases the cardboard, hold it tight and press. Remove the cardboard and center on a 6.5 inch square. Applique down in your favorite way. Cut this whole square in 4ths and you have 4 drunkards path blocks. You can use any size background fabric you want as your circle is proportional.

thank you all! I am going to do this pattern next!

our joann's does not have the templates. just a few triangles and squares
