I bought a used "Bargello" book from Amazon. The listing indicated it was "As good as new" or something like that.

When it arrived I checked and it looked new and had a pull out in the back.

I read through the book and decided on the project I wanted to do first. Rhapsody. Bought my fabrics, created my strata. Then I went to the next section of instructions...which included 'refer to the pull out'.

This is the silly part for me - the only pull out was NOT for the Rhapsody it was for Fire Flies. There is no other pull out.

So there I sat with this in-progress project and no clear instructions for completion.

I have now resorted to looking at the photo with a magnifying glass to determine HOW to put together the strips.

I have spent hours on this and I am half finished. It may not look exactly like the original, but I'm giving it a good try!

Not sure I will ever purchase another 'used' pattern book without touching it first!
