I am glad you perservered to the end to achieve your lovely block and I am happy you found your way around the pattern problems. But, I am troubled by how many patterns are released with poor and frequently inaccurate instructions. All sorts of restrictions are placed on buyers-but none on the sellers. It is unfortunate because so many quilters buying patterns are new to sewing or quilting and they do not need to have these discouragements and think that it is their fault. Far too many patterns have errors. I do not understand not testing the product first.

Your pattern may not have been the best but that block is fantastic.

It's too bad that makers of patterns don't get someone to do a test run to see if a pattern has problems in the directions, fabric requirement, etc. They are, maybe, in a hurry to rush to publication. I don't know why more time isn't taken to make sure things work. I wouldn't want my name on something that wasn't top notch and that would be a joy to work on. Just my opinion, though.

Stunning, you turned lemons into a beautiful rainbow; I would have sent a not so nice message to the pattern designer along with a photo of it burning in my fireplace.
