...yes, I agree...it seems to be a perfect example of a "hot mess"! I did the first two blocks in the booklet..omg...I hate fraction cutting! So I rounded off, then tons of trimming to fit! And, I might add the gray printing is not easy on aging eyes! But still wonder why the descrepency in the cutting instructions on those "ribbons". I think my gypsy wife will be a long tablerunner! And, I will not order any other patterns by that designer!
