The Virginia Reel block pattern in Around the Block Again is a very messed up pattern. I can't believe they let it go to print like that. If you look at the construction diagram, you can see how different it is from the block picture.
Janice, The Around the Corner block is all made up of little triangles cut on the bias. Hardly any 'on grain' cuts to anchor them to. No wonder it sucks to make. Those bias cuts can really 'shape shift' on you. I think if I have to make that block ever, I'll starch the bejeebers out of it first. (Sewing with Cardboard).
There have been mistakes (typos) in other patterns in the ATB books, but you can usually figure what's wrong and write a little correction in your book. The publisher may even have the errata for the books and the other books they publish. Let me check...
Nope. Martingale went out of business about two years ago and there doesn't seem to be any central page for errata. They're just done.
