I started BOM at a quilt shop. I bought the kit up front too. After two months the instructor quit the classes. The block were not sewing up like the pattern stated. Nothing was the same size. I was almost ready to chunk the whole thing. The fabric was beautiful though so I wanted to do it. I decided to make the block then just simply square up all the same size that fit. I didn't care about points or matching seams anymore. I just sewed and squared. The quilt went together so much easier. I had fun sewing with no worry of matching anything. I put the fancy border fabric on it and it's beautiful. Not one perfect block by any means but it's beautiful. My motto now has become sew it, square it, quilt it.. Most blocks sew together just right some don't and that is fine with me. Here is the kit I bought:
My blocks were a mess. LOL
