I just finished this quilt top recently. What helped me was looking at the pictures. I'd move the pattern from my sewing table to my cutting table and back again so I could constantly be looking to make sure I was doing it correctly. It's such a pretty pattern, but it would be easy to make a wrong move and potentially ruin a whole square.

After many years of quilting, my #1 rule is that good old carpenters motto. "Measure twice, cut once." Making one sample block before jumping into an entire pattern has saved me a lot of disappointment over the years. Read and re- read the instructions, then do a sample block with scraps. Makes me happy peace
