Is this correct?
Is it CLOSE to correct?
You folks may just be miracle workers.
It's not perfect, but it's way better than I expected on my first try.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

Remember that the seamlines have to come out even, there will be a slight ruffle in the seam allowance of the quarter circle but that will ease in when you press it after stitching.
Edited...to feel a little better, lightly mark in the seam line on both the pieces then lay one over the other matching the seam lines you marked and you;'ll see that they fit together....really!
