cone shaped quilt
#11
It looks like once you sew them into rows. then you match the second row to the first right sides together. Matching the curves and intersections. Hope this helps It can be frustrating when the patterns do not make any sense. I am a visual learner and I ahve to commend you on doing this pattern!

Looking at the pic of the quilt, see where they have HALF a cone at the end of every other row? That will even out the rows.
Now, looking at the colored line drawing, where the TOP of two curves connect, that intersection will match the point of the cone in the bottom row.
So, I would cut out one cone, and put two rows together and see how this works for you.
Pinning is important here. Use pins to match up your "points" before you sew.
Hope the helps a little.

Like one does when sewing blocks on point together.

I haven't actually DONE it - so I can't vouch for the practicality of my suggestion.
But I think it would be easier than the way shown on that other site.
My drawing could have been better, but I think I conveyed the idea.
And now I think of some refinements that I should/could have made to it. Oh,well.
