The 2 3 1/2 strips were not accurate and wonky. The fabric was a good quality Robert Kaufman however. I had to spend much of my quilting time resizing the pattern and recutting all the fabric. Is this a frequent occurance or a fluke?
Gee, it would be really good to know if others are having similar issues. I was looking forward to participating in this in the next several months. I'm new to this craft (to have garment sewing experience) and the quality of my piecing is very good (not bragging, I'm just fussy). But I don't have the experience to resize a pattern if the fabric is off. :-(
