I agree w/ both Tgma and sewbiz. Tgma's suggestion will work for a PP pattern, but if it isn't PP then a pic will help. I will try and post some pics of a "tutorial" type thing to show a lesser math option for pattern drafting that might help some.

Im glad I had tax taken out of SS or I would have had to pay more than I did. im sure we ALL pay more than people in higher tax brackets! I got to finish this block for Terriamn. Had to use my seam ripper a few times on it but its done. Might start on another one or cut out a couple of more.

Cute wavy pinwheel, Joan!
I have been so frustrated with my Juki quilter that I finally gave up on it. It's always been tricky to get the stitches balanced, but now it's impossible. I've tried every fix and the only thing I can come up with is that the tensioner was bad from the start and has gotten worse. I moved it out to pack up and send off for repair (or hopefully replacement!) and put my good 'ole Bernina Record 830 from the 1970's in it's place. At least I can get some quilts bound on it, and do all the piecing I want. It makes pretty, evenly balanced stitches.
Sewing machines... ARRGH! They are only fabulous when they work.

Well hmm You know it does Now that you say that LOL
The pattern I picked probably wasn't the best for those two colors, It had 3 or 4 colors in it.
But once I started cutting and laying it out...nothing but to go on :-)
And well, that fabric from the first was water to me, the beach etc....so there ya go
