    Default 5 Minute Quilt Block Book correction.

    I have been making several patterns from the book and found some cutting instructions mistakes. Example: The Tree of Life geese strips should be 5 1/2" not 5". I have learned to make a test block before cutting all the pieces. There is nothing on the author's website that I could find about the mistakes.

    I apologize! I made the mistake. The cutting directions for the Tree of Life are correct. I was looking at the wrong page! How I did that and not realize it after an hour of rereading it because nothing was sewing correctly? Good Grief, I got upset for no reason.

    LOL I can't tell you how many times I've done the same thing, so you aren't the only one.

    Ha, ha. I just made a small bag with a zipper and pocket on the front. I had one piece of cut fabric left over. I've read again and still am not sure where it goes but intend to make another. Maybe it will come to me!!

    I hate reading instructions! I do much better if the text is broken up with pictures. Glad it us working out for you now.

    When I read the first part of your thread I thought that's not right I have made that and it turned out great , I just love that book lots of wonderful ideas, and that leads you into getting game all on your own with the method . Cathy
