It was a class I took. I don't even remember what the name of the pattern was. I should teach this class sometime!

Make a diagram with each block colored in with crayon or colored pencil. Then follow it very closely!! When a block is finished, immediately pin a note to it with row and block number (i.e. row 3, 4th block). Then lay it out on a design wall or bed before sewing blocks together and double check all the tabs. I thought I was being so careful, but still made mistakes. I thought I had fixed all the wrong "tabs" and sewed it together and a friend spotted another wrong one after it was all sewn together!! I found really cute fabric with puzzle pieces for the back. I just need to get it quilted!

The tesstelations quilts are like this too. You really have to pay close attention, huh? While making one of these is when I realized I needed a design board.
I love the puzzle quilt you made. It is fun and happy with those colors. Even if it was a pain ... LOL!
