      Love the Shimmer pattern but I have a question. In the cutting directions for fat quarters step B says to cut strip 3 1/2 x WOF. Sub cut the strip into 4 strips 3" x 3 1/2", and 4 squares 2 x 2. The diagram shows the strip sub cut into 4 3" squares and 4 2" squares. I'm confused. Which is correct?

      This pattern makes a stunning quilt! I just wish this pattern had pressing directions. I had to figure it out on my own. It's not an easy pattern for beginners even though it sounds like it is. Always use a scant 1/4" or you will be in trouble....the whole block will be outta whack. Sweat, blood and tears on the first two blocks until I figured it out. BTW the darn tape trick didn't work for me, it kept peeling up when I sewed. Can you tell I was frustrated? I was!
