    Thank you everyone, I'm glad I'm not alone. Just so happened a quilt shop about 35 minutes away had the jelly roll I need. So on Saturday (Tomorrow I have to work) I'll work on my B blocks. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

    Fun thing is, I'm looking at the sample picture on the pattern and 2 of the blocks are wrong.

    I always buy extra fabric for every project unless it's a scrap project. And you can never have too many jelly rolls!
    Got fabric?

    Sounds like me - I always remember to measure twice, but have cut wrong after going through all that anyway. Usually happens when I am tired, so have learned to go to bed instead of cutting when tired.

    I can measure twice and still cut wrong! I can even write it down and cut it wrong! There is usually a way to fix it and I always buy extra fabric!

    really hate when the instructions are wrong........

    there are some books being sold that have several pages of corrections on their websites and even after noting the corrections on your copy of the book (that you bought for the class) you find more errors .....grrrrrrrrrr

    I found another mistake, The instructions say to use 39 stripes well it needs 41 stripes. This pattern if driving me crazy.
