Glad to see the fix. Looks good. Please contact the designer so other quilters won't have the problem you did. Please post pics when quilt is finished.

By the way, welcome to the Board!

As a former pattern designer, I wholeheartedly agree! But, then, I was always very fussy about my pattern directions. I figured they would be a reflection on me.

I have also found patterns with errors. It can be very frustrating.
