Need Help with Quiltmaker Pattern
I'm working on the Family of Three pattern (3 giraffes) in the Jan/Feb 2016 issue of Quiltmaker magazine and I'm having a problem with one block. Can someone who has the mag let me know if they can try to help me?

Here we go: On page 38, at the top of the middle column, is a description to make two Unit 4's and one Unit 5, using the orange E, F, H pieces and the gray G piece. My confusion is that when I sew F and G together, the completed piece is 6" long. This completed piece must be sewn between pieces E and H which are each 5 1/2 inches long. There's a 1/2 inch discrepancy. The block picture seems to show that the combined F and G piece is the same length as E and H but it's not. Unless I'm doing something wrong. I was wondering if F should have started at 5" and not 5 1/2". Is this an error in the instructions? I believe I should sew the F/G piece to E and H and not cut off any of the G piece at the bottom but rather cut off 1/2" of the orange end. Your thoughts?

In your browser, type "Quiltmaker errata" . I did that and found the corrections to "Family of Three". Just about all quilt magazines and quilt book authors will publish online corrections.

We're just social media, so to speak, published material should have higher standards....they used to.
