Did you have any problems with the pattern? I took a class and bought the book Strip Happy by Dona Kinsey. Our class instructor had problems making the stri[ps fit as the measurements were off. They did come out with a revised edition of that book.
No, I didn’t have any problems with measurements. I have to say that I didn’t really measure though. The only thing I measured was when I was cutting the sewn together strips into squares. I sewed the 4 triangle pieced squares together into a large block and I didn’t measure that either. I just laid them on my cutting board, lined up the crossed center seams at the same point (which was the 15 ¼” mark but I believe that was from the right side of the 23” grid so that would be 7 ¾” to the center seam), made sure the point met the 45 degree angle line and just cut them square.
This was just a quick and simple quilt so I didn’t do a lot of fussing with it.
