Not too long ago, my guild was asked to make scrappy blocks to be combined into a very special fund raiser quilt. I found this neat block pattern from a quilt book. I read the instructions and followed them carefully. You can imagine my chagrin when the block ended looking like a bowl instead of lying flat. I doublechecked the instructions and templates. That was when I discovered measurements of one template piece were actually off. I had to take apart the block and draft out a template with correct measurements. It worked, but I was wondering why the instructions were apparently not doublechecked or have someone do the projects first before publishing the book.
