Polly,
I'm making that same quilt and I agree, the directions are confusing. Also, when sewing together the 4-patch to the single square, make sure your 4-patches are aligned the same so that you have your diagonals going the same way. I didn't at first, so they looked a little drunk. I resewed.
Example b=black, w=white, r=red,
w b rrrrrr w b rrrrrr
b w rrrrrr b w rrrrrr
rrrrr w b rrrrr w b
rrrrr b w rrrrr b w
Clear as mud????
MJ :lol:
