Before I get a picture posted, look at the color picture of the quilt and the block called San Luigi. In the color picture a small 3 1/2 inch block is flipped with the black on the top and the white on the bottom left. In the pattern instructions the black is placed on the bottom left and the white on the upper right. It ruins the shadow.

I'm sorry but IMHO people who want to sell their patterns need to have pattern testers and make sure that their patterns are correct before the pattern is put on the market. It shouldn't be up to the consumer to try to make a pattern work. O.K., I'm done with my rant!

This is very interesting to me!! I just quilted one for a customer on my LA and saw those exact errors when I was halfway through quilting it and I had to just finish it. I wasn't familiar with the quilt and hadn't noticed it before. It seemed to me like it was going to throw off the way the quilt should look. Told the shop owner and she just figured one of her girls had made the mistake when assembling it. She has told me that it doesn't stand out when you see it up on the wall. I haven't been to see it yet. It would make me sick if I had made it and not been able to fix it and to think it is a pattern error is sad indeed. Hope you take the time to tear and correct as it is a beautiful quilt! Good Luck.

I just remembered that I have a photo of the Labyrinth Walk that I quilted for a customer. It has the 3 errors you are talking about in your quilt. See if you can find them all.[ATTACH=CONFIG]475794[/ATTACH]

I so agree! I've bought very few patterns...and so far have made none of them.....but I'd be furious if I had to worry about "corrections" for something I paid good money for, especially if the need for these corrections was discovered after I'd cut and sewed it all. In my opinion, there's no excuse for selling a pattern that has something wrong in it. Prove it up first, then offer it for sale!

There are nine large blocks in the quilt. In the center bottom block and the 2 outside blocks of the middle row you will find the mistakes. In the center of those blocks there is a small square made of one black and one lt. gray triangle. Those triangles are turned wrong. The top center block is the same block and it is correctly placed. It looks very 3 dimensional and the ones with mistakes mess your mind up trying to see it!
