So here are 6 blocks - once again, just like in the double wedding ring quilt, I'm having freaking problems with the middle - it will work out in the end ... but naturally, no matter how "perfectly" I line everything up ... it ALWAYS does this!
It's not crooked, it's on the floor, and I'm standing above it!

BIG sigh, and lots of swear words LOL ... So I just realized that I was putting it together wrong. I took the middle parts apart because I was having problems with them lining up ... so then I looked at the instructions and realized I was supposed to make them into "squares" and sew in strips.
So I just spent the last hour taking lots of stitches out! Let's hope that solves my problem, and thankfully I figured it out now, instead of 49 squares later!
I was assembling it like I did the double wedding ring quilt ... guess I should have read through the instructions more carefully LOL

Jan - it was sewn together perfectly, except the middles weren't matching up! It was too bulky!
After investing in about 1000 safety pins I have bowed down to following the instructions - not something I am fond of doing, which is one of the main reasons I don't usually buy patterns LOL
