No you are definetly not the only one. I have troble following all the cut 100 2 1/2 strips of this fabric and then sub cut 50 of those into 2 1/2 by 6 1/2 strips. OMgosh I get so confused so I just get a sheet of graph paper and draw the patteren out and then next I color it with my fabric choice and work from there. I do keep reading different patterns just in case one of these times my brain kicks in and I can actually follow it
