I realize it could have been a typo. Just wondering if this has happened to you? How you over came the problem. Thanks Pat
The first quilt book I bought in 1975 had a pattern with a patch 1/2 inch off--thought I was loosing my mind until I measured.
As a quilt book author, I really vet my pattern, making sure they work. Told my editor that they had to be absolutely perfect or that I would pull the book. The galleys are where an author gets to do the final check. If it goes to press with errors, blame the author. She had a chance to make it right. And squaring up is not in my book of acceptable corrections. SandyQuilter (Correction still has not been made--I am SandyQuilter from Trophy Club, Texas)
