I bought two of these quilts off Ebay. My goal was to do easy, inexpensive, quilts until I could get my 1/4 inch seam done pat. The instructions were basically to make the blocks like the picture. I've been sewing a long time, so managed to figure out how to sew the different segments of the block to get several done. The I noticed something. One of the problems was that the block was shown as only one orientation, but you had to reverse the block for the other side. It made everything so much more interesting. Then I laid it out. Just knew I had it right. I very soon found out that taking a picture of the layout with my phone helped me find where I had sewed the blocks wrong. Took me 3 or 4 times to figure that out. Doesn't look hard, does it?

In the end, it was a very good learning experience for me. And the value of a good ripper cannot be overstated.
