HELP Has anyone ever made a quilt called "Big Thunder" ???
A friend sent me "Big Print Quilts" by Karen Snyder. I wanted to make the pattern call Big Thunder, but either the pattern is wrong or I have lost my mind. Has anyone ever made this quilt? I need help badly.

I just looked up the quilt.
Took this from a review ,
2.0 out of 5 stars Big Thunder
I was so excited to find a book that utilized big prints but then I cut all pieces for Big Thunder only to find out the setting triangles were cut too small and after trying to sew one row I had to cut down the squares to fit the setting triangles. I wonder if the patterns were tested from the written text.
