As some very knowledgeable quilters have here attested, sewing complicated patterns of blocks can be very tricky.
Perhaps it was unwise of me to try to sew blocks into rows at my sewing bees where the very enjoyable chat can, none the less, interrupt my chain of thought.
These pictures are of my assembled rows that are not yet sewn together because they are all wrong for the layout that I've chosen.
I had to lay them out and photograph them to try to understand how to chase away all the gremlins.
It took some time to fix. It took some seam ripping to fix. It took some reversals of 90° of the row placements to fix. Most of all, it took confidence that I could make it right if I'd just stay at it!
Below is the correct pattern and the proof that I did it.
Keep your belief in your own abilities! Miss Emma Lynne knew that...
Stay calm and quilt on!

That's quite the fancy layout!
Somewhere along the line, did you grumble to yourself about not choosing "Straight Furrow"? 8)
All your hard work resulted in a beautiful quilt!
Just gorgeous!! Love your amazing progress!!
Whew....good save!
It's nice to see others do things like that. lol
Oh, I hope I didn't jinx it with my comment on the previous post!
What a beautiful design. I can see how easy it would be to get the placement mixed up. Glad you got it worked out.
perseverance pays off! such beautiful blocks....your quilting expertise has grown leaps and bounds since we first met!
I use my phone quite often to lay out quilts. Even with the blocks on a design wall feet from my sewing machine, I still get things turned around. Thanks for sharing your pretty quilt with Oh Scrap!
