I had the strangest experience tonight with a pattern. It seemed straightforward enough. Cut such and such number of squares from certain designated fabrics (I wasn't using those fabrics, but I had corresponding fabrics that I substituted). The squares were to be made into HSTs. The diagram showed the stack the squares method, draw a line, stitch quarter inch from the line and cut on the drawn line for two HSTs. It listed all of these fabrics (A-U), and the number of squares to be cut from each fabric. Then it went on to give pairings for the fabrics, to be sewn into HSTs. It would say, 'make six HSTs from fabrics AN, OT, SQ (for example). The problem was that it kept asking for more and more of the HSTs, far more than the number of squares cut would allow for. I just wonder if I misunderstood something, or if their numbers were wildly off. For example, it says to cut 13 squares of fabric A, but then it says to make 26 HSTs with fabrics A/B, and another 24 HSTs with fabrics A/C.I've just kept cutting more and more fabrics as I've gone along. I feel like I definitely missed the boat somewhere.
