Could they possibly mean cut strips 3.5 inches width of fabric, then cut those strips 2,5 inches wide (selvedge to selvedge) so you have rectangles 3.5 x 2.5? I've never done one, and it was very confusing. You're probably right it was a translation done poorly.

Cut the fabric one at a time if you are a beginner.......I am not a beginner but this is sure making me feel like one .I thought this would be like a "short trip...I am confused by these insrtructions..can anyone help??

I'd bet they were written in another language and then "translated" by somebody that also doesn't speak English as a first language. |
That was my first thought also. It must of been translated to be that broke up. Maybe you could find another beginner bargello pattern to make
|
I wouldn't even attempt this pattern, it's just not right.
Find another pattern 3rdgenquilter, there's some lovely ones out there. :D |
Hahahaha I'm cracking up here. This tutorial is for "beginners"?? I'm still fairly new to quilting, but I wouldn't quite consider myself a beginner (just because I am familiar with terms and techniques and have a few quilts under my belt - still LOTS to learn though, of course) maybe I`m a novice quilter...
Anyway. If a TRUE beginner tried to do that, they would never, ever quilt again. I agree that it reads like a poor translation. |
Sounds like the person just transcribed their notes, cuz that's rhe kind of 'shorthand' I write down to help me remember how I did something. Not very helpful to anyone else!

what I get out this is 3 1/2" length of fabric (42") and then into 3 1/2" blocks????? |
It's probably been run through a translation program.
Those often literally translate every word of the original instructions yet don't make sense because usually when you go from one language to the next you can't translate every word and make sense. |
