Oh my goodness, Thank you Cherisews you explained correctly. Everything has been accurate I am very careful to make sure seams stay 1/4 inch. Just seems to be missing a full framed triangle on ends of everyother row
iwillquilt,yes all points are going to end on point.

Thank you for your patience and trying to help me. I will try and post picture when I can figure out why quilting board and my Macbook can work together.

OMG I just figured out the quilt you are trying to make!!!! I have made it, but I know it as 'Smoothing Iron'.

Also I found the picture of the one you had posted.

I need to go back and re-read... but I think what you are missing is some "half" blocks (but not actually one half of a block).

YEA!!! thank you I really appreciate you posting picture of your quilt it is Beautiful, much prettier than mine. The magazine did not give instructions for end pieces. I think I see what you mean by half blocks.

yep I see that now. i'm so glad you got it figured out. I can see why it would be a problem without the side half pieces. good luck.

Thank you everyone... I know I sound frustrated and I am. Being this is only the second quilt I have pieced the
Lessons I have learned and learning have been valuable and everyone has been great in taking the time to help a newbie out and much appreciated.

Don't we all know that instructions can be incorrect or at least confusing at times! Keep up the good work!!!! The more you quilt the better you will get and the better you get the easier it will be to "fix" problems.
