and now I'm paying for it.

My rule is: Never make a pattern unless I see a picture of an actual quilt done from the pattern. Not a graphic..an actual quilt. That way, I know someone made the pattern and worked out any mistakes before I invest time and money in it.

Well, I started on a pattern where there was just a graphic and you guessed it: I can't get it to work.

It's a paper pieced pattern and when you sew the pieces together, the points don't make a point. They make an offset point. I've tried 1/4" seams, scant 1/4" seams, wider, narrower. There is just no way those points are coming together where they should. They meet pretty well at the top but the points are wrong in the same way at the bottom of each one. Then, paying too much attention to the points, I lost the side points.

If I had seen a picture of the quilt and they were perfect, I'd say it was just me, but having done two rows and them all being the same? It's only a panel for a tote, but I'm about to throw in the towel.
