I'm assembling the squares for my "Lover's Knot" quilt from an Eleanor Burns pattern. The rows are laid out on the diagonal, and I'm finding that I'm "diagonally challenged"!!!
I have laid out the squares on our king-sized bed (the quilt I'm making is also king-sized). I just can't seem to wrap my mind around looking at things on an angle.
It doesn't help that this quilt has many different partial squares that are used to fill in the corners.
I don't think anyone can help me with my problem, but thanks for letting me vent!!! :x
I'll be sure to post a picture when I get this monster put together!!!

Try standing at a diagonal while you are looking at it...hold the picture of your pattern the same way....and try matching up the blocks....I can be very challenged, myself!!! Then when you think you have it layed out correctly, take a picture or two of it and look at it on your monitor if you can....mistakes usually pop right out of the quilt this way!!! before you get them stitiched in!!!! :wink: :wink: :wink:
