The publisher is David & Charles - England I think. I have had a communication with the designer and hope to get some help from her. I'm hoping I haven't made some stupid mistake or totally misread the pattern. Sometimes I can have "quilt block blindness" when I've been staring at something for a while. If all else fails, I have figured out another layout I can use, where the seams will all match and my need for semi-perfection will be satisfied! Seriously, I drive myself nuts sometimes....
Thanks everyone!!
