Yes! The instructions looked easy. It's anything but! Also, there is a lot of wasted material. I could have just taken the smaller rectangles, and sewn them with sashings, rather than making imperfect stars. But I didn't. That was the only alternate plan I could come up with. I measured and remasured the strips of the larger rectangle. It's maddening. Should have started with a topper rather than a full sized quilt. Then at least I'd know what NOT to do!
