Bootsy, don't worry about this block. It is a great pattern! I took it apart last night and made adjustments and put it all back together. I will be able to use it now.
I've learned so much about construction of a good 12.5" block through this swap. I appreciate the opportunity! My block building is so much better than it used to be. Practice does make perfect.
Janice, thank you for a great Summer swap!
