Don't give up.. Do me a favor and work on block # 79 "Patience" using the pping method.. cut each piece of fabric 3 " square..This is a very easy block to make..when you're done , post it here..
AND, for any others new to this way of sewing blocks do the same as I've asked Jane to do...
Thanks for the encouragement. I think I'm going to print it out AGAIN, this time on heavy card stock, and try to see if I can save this project. If not, I'll start over. And if THAT doesn't work, well.... I've learned my lesson.
