You will find the maker of the pattern here. If you have questions we can't answer, perhaps you could contact her.

When I get confuggled with a pattern because I am using different material, I just write my material colors/patterns on the pattern so I don't get quite so confused. I'll even write them all the way through the pattern...just makes it easier for me.

I love your dog! We have a boxer, her name is Molly and she's about 14 months and very high energy.

when I don't understand- I read slowly, OUTLOUD-sometimes doing this, step by step-it starts to make sense!

I,m glad it'sjust not me. I,m new to quilting and I thoughtI was dumb, LOL.
I find them very difficult to read.
I have ended up going online and watching video's thinking it was jjust me.
Glad I have company.

I didn't read the responses, so if this has already been said, I apologize...

First, I make a color copy of the pattern so I can write on it.

Second, if I have swapped out colors, I neatly line through the color called for in the pattern, and write my color choice right next to or above the original. It helps me to keep focused on what I am doing to have my colors labeled according to what I am using.

Have you ever tired a Thimbleberries pattern? The directions are crystal clear, in my opinion. Each step for each block is written in great detail. As you build a block, or join blocks, they always tell you how big your block should be. It really helps to keep things straight and even. You can often score used Thimbleberries patterns on ebay. Sorry, none of mine are for sale!!
