Thank you for this post! I thought I was having one of those weeks all by myself! I had just gotten my Quiltmaker magazine for September/October, and found a quick pattern (Harvest) that I thought would be PERFECT for a baby quilt I had to do. Great big HST's, it was going together quickly. Two of rows one, two and three. All the pieces cut out, rows one and two put together, and as I'm laying out row three, I remind myself that I'm switching the pattern's light and dark. The other voice in my head says, "Really? Did I miss the memo?". Instead of ripping, I went with it, and it turned out really cute.
