Thanks for all the insight. The main problem I have is this: what order do I sew the nine patch blocks and the triangles and the center hexagon? I can sew y seams, but the order to sew the whole circle is the problem.
The other problem is how many and what kind of blocks do I sew? Some look to be whole circles, some not. The Quilters cache one has connecting rows of hexagons and triangles. The pattern I bought has one large diagram with whole circle blocks and partial ones, but no order of piecing and sewing the units. It is one things to have a schematic of the whole quilt, it is another to show the piecing diagrams and order. I emailed her, but she did not see my point. The quilt I saw on the pattern site and in her blog was the colorway she gave instructions for, although I thought it was part of the pattern, she called it a variation, but no instructions.
