    Great, I will give it a go. See the first time I tried this pattern, I do not know where it went wrong so this time I am going to take my time. The visual helps, I do better with visuals then with words; as you can tell with my writing LOL. I will be back again, either with another question or a pic of my work. Thanks again!!

    Thank you, thank you for the graphics kudos!

    ALL my patterns are like this. I have many, some of which I've shared here, both in posts and under tutorials. There are others for just blocks as well as whole quilts. Maybe someday I'll try selling them. Here would be a good place to start, I suppose, because you all are so gracious to be receptive of them each time.

    But that work is for another time; my current list is full until into May of next year!

    Jan, you are awesome!! My vote is we keep her for ourselves unless she would like to start her own business.

    Jan is very good at this sort of thing. I need pictures and words to assemble anything. Lots of directions are just pictures now days and I am sometimes lost, I need the words also.

    I design my own graphics in Microsoft Paint on the computer. I've been using it for many years so find it rather easy, but the original learning curve was the pits for a self learner! I haven't owned a computer quilt design program since the early days of EQ. Paint is somewhat limiting, but it serves my purpose well, for free.

    Thanks for asking.

    I'm making my own book call "Jan's advice." I print out almost everything she has to say that I need to hear. Thanks Jan for your generosity in sharing all your great Knowledge. Now I'm going to look for those patterns she was talking about.

This is where I am confused "Cut four strips 3"wide" also at the 45 degree angle, oh I need help PLEASE!
    Make your 45 degree cut on the left side, then flip that cut so it's on the right side, now make your 3" wide cuts. Have fun!
    Love 4 stchen
