Have you ever had a pattern you couldn't wrap your brain around?

Oh, this is a good idea! I am going to do that. I have worked with it enough this afternoon that I think I have it conquered....but this idea really will help. Thanks.

Check the tutorials section. There is an excellent tute there by Nanna Up North. Might be helpful to you. http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...t-t250247.html

Oh Dina, I'm so sorry you are struggling with your quilt. It looks like you have a picture of how the blocks are arranged so that should help. I found it easier to look at it from the corner. Then, it was just rows that got added on..... and the side lines were fairly straight, especially if I sewed the triangles on as I put it together. But, if I can help in any way, just PM me. I sure don't want you to get frustrated.... I think I was one that encouraged you to do this.

You are doing fine Dina. Start to cut a few of your setting triangles and that might help you get back on track. Your color selections are always lovely. I am working on table placemats with EB book of Lover Knots Placemat. The blocks are made from 1.5" wide strips. I screwed up by not sewing the colors in the proper order sewing the light where I should have put the medium dark. OOPS !! So I have to make some lemonade with the lemon blocks I made.

But I am feeling more comfortable and I will PM you if I feel more confusion. Thanks.
