Putting these blocks together is my challenge and will show as I go!
Thanks again for this great pattern and the time you spent to send it out to everyone.
peace
Ube, it's marvelous girl. The reason it is short on the left is because the point of the collar needed to be moved over. When you pin the collar on, make sure to mark the 1/4 ins. allowance on both the clam and the collar and stick a pin through it. The points of the collar should stick out a 1/4 ins. from the clam.
