It might seem confusing at first, but be sure to mark your wedges and lay them out in order. When you sew it together, you will be starting with the smallest pieces so besure to stack your wedges with the larges wedge on the bottom and stack them until you nave the smallest one on the top. It will tell you that in the instruction. It is one of those patterns where after you have made the first one, then the next one will be a lot easier. Good luck and have fun. Mine took me 3 days to make. Huggies, Fay
