Thimblebug, I cut out a Spicy Spiral yest. & nothing came out right. I measured & cut, remeasured & counted yet I came up short of strips. I came up short on the subcuts. It was such a disaster but I have to face it again today & try to figure out where I obviously messed up. Very frustrated since I've never had a pattern defeat me til now.

Here's what it looks like after the cuts are made. [ATTACH=CONFIG]422814[/ATTACH]

Just google Spicy Spiral Table runner pattern and lots of shops carry them. I bought mine a few years back.

Hi there, they are all the same size, it's just the angle I took the picture. It's hard to get them all in perspective without being a fly on the ceiling

I had to turn my cutting mat since my table is against a wall in a corner. I'm headed back upstairs now to see if I can see my mistake & salvage my work so far. Thanks so much for your help.

Love your colors! Taught a class last year for Christmas ones. Now I have to go and make some like yours.
I have also used the ruler to make a jacket-wild in oranges and rust. Love it.
