Cindy, you're moving the little 4 patch in the middle. You don't move that one at all, move it the way it is in your first pic and you should be okay. The only pieces you move are the 4 "thin" strips and just turn them. Maybe go to the older thread and look at the pics.

Here's an example and just notice how the colors go and you'll see the difference[ATTACH=CONFIG]453844[/ATTACH]See how the dk. and the lights stay together on the same side and the darks do too

I was following the tutorial....i just went back and looked at it again, her whole block in the pictures are rotated, so it does get confusing.

Ok I am glad I hadn't sewn it together yet. I put the center back in the starting position. Now I will sew them and try again.

Thanks jaba

Glad you were on line when she was Jaba. I was in my room finishing up mine.

Sorry.......You really did make me smile and giggle though, just couldn't help it. I hate ripping those seams so bad...it's my worst nightmare from h---!! But you did give me the laugh I needed today so thank you even if it will be a nightmare for you too! Happy Happy New Year

I don't know if I would rip them out if I had enough fabric to remake them. i would use them for another quilt or add to what you get back.

That is what I am going to do with the first one I made.

Welcome to the club! I think I was one of the first to have to redo. I tried to make it have all the fabrics in each row. 😃
