wrong instructions...
#11
Yeah, the math is definitely wrong. You would think they would have some quality control person testing these things? Anyway, since you already did a lot of the cutting, I'd just square them up the best I could.

You should e-mail whoever put the pattern up on the internet to let them know there is an error. I did that once on a pattern I did and they immediately corrected the error. And thanked me for letting them know.
They would probably appreciate it that someone caught the error they made. It is a pretty quilt. Hope you go ahead with it and make it work for you.

After looking at the pattern -
I'm making a couple of assumptions:
1) You are using a jelly roll
2) The strips are 2-1/2 inches wide
If you read all through her directions - it says you will need to trim the strip ends to line it up - after you put each section together - (I do not find that reassuring!)
Rather than try to square the blocks up - I would just cut 1/8 inch off each of the 2-1/2 x 3 inch pieces (then they will be 2-1/2 x 2-7/8- then you will end up with a unit that is approximately 7-1/4 wide by 7-1/2 high
Then you won't need to fight with the strips - assemble it in the way that is illustrated

I like this a lot & will certainly give this one a try sometime soon. Thanks for catching the measurement error & allerting the rest of us so we won't go through the same frustration you had too. "That's what friends are for".

Just to let you know, I emailed Jamie about the wrong instructions. She emailed me back and said, "Thank you so much Norene! I don't know how three people missed that when proof reading it before! I guess I need to hire you to proof read :)! I fixed the pattern on MBS and I also am attaching a copy in a PDF format!! Thanks again!! If you could please send me your address I'd love to send you a thank you present!!
