    I cut out fabric for yellow brick road and followed steps A and B and sewed all of the pieces together. I put the whole thing aside for about 3 or 4 weeks. Today i went back and read the next steps and I am suppose to have some of the first strips left. I thought I was making a lap quilt, howevery I had to cut more strips and now I THINK I am making a twin.??? I am all mixed up on this now and keep looking and reading and counting. Oh well I get it put together somehow, but it may be something other than anything we have ever seen.

    I did that in a class 5 or so yrs ago and think I did the same thing. It taught me to READ the entire pattern first! at least twice! That quilt is still waiting to be quilted.

    I find it helpful to check off steps as I go along. On pattens with multi sizes listed, like that one, I circle the amounts for the size I'm working on too. You can use pencil and erase it when you are done. I also make notes for myself if I think I might use it again. :)
