I bought this beautiful Plum Creek quilt and have had the same problem. I'm at a total loss with it. I contacted the owner of the company and he acknowledged that the pattern required some correction. He corrected it and sent me the new pattern. I even special ordered some of the original Jenny Beyer fabric that I had miscut. Well, needless to say, the remaining fabric is put away for another day. I think this quilt is not do-able. I am very experienced but cannot make it come out right. I think I'll just use the fabric for something else.
