I can't wait to finish some other stuff and use this pattern!

Thanks for your notes!

Hi gang... I guess I'm not reading that pattern the way everyone else is. The way I see it is:

A = 10.5 (c) + 2.5 (w) + 2.5 (c) = 15.5" across
B = 2.5 (c) + 2.5 (w) + 8.5 (c) = 13.5" across
C = 4.5 (c) + 2.5 (w) + 6.5 (c) = 13.5" across
D = 6.5 (c) + 2.5 (w) + 4.5 (c) = 13.5" across
E = 8.5 (c) + 2.5 (w) + 2.5 (c) = 13.5" across
F = 10.5 (c) + 2.5 (w) + 2.5 (c) = 15.5" across
(c = not white fabric)
(w = white fabric)

This is the order it was listed in and we all assumed that the white 2.5 squares go between the two cuts. It seems there are some problems with the dimensions. Maybe I don't get it??

By gosh, I think you've got it! Very cleverly deduced, Ms. Sherlock! Also, love this pattern!

Thanks for for correcting me though...

It threw me too.

I couldn't wrap my mind around it

Treating it all as 2.5 strips was the only thing that made sense to me

Maybe you guys can come up with something better. That was all I could manage

(I flunked algebra...LOL!)

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who can write down directions for a quilt block and then have no idea what it looks like. Hate when these Senior Moments gang up on me. LOL.
