More Fat Quarter Quilts (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

More Fat Quarter Quilts [Paperback]I loved M'Liss Hawley's first fat quarter book and looked forward to this one.All the quilts in it look wonderful, particularly the Bargello which I'm dying to try.
However, there is a big error in at least one of the sets of instructions!"Triple Rail on Point" is the first quilt I'm trying from this book, and I've discovered that the diagram illustrating the number of blocks in each row is wrong.The diagram shows a single block in each corner of the main body of the quilt.This seemed a bit funny as all the example quilt photos showed 2 blocks in two of the opposite corners, 1 in the other two.As I began sewing my rows together as per the diagram, I finally realized there _is_ supposed to be 1 more block added onto the end of 6 or 7 of the rows.I have to go back and somehow fit them in to my already-sewn-together rows.If I don't, there will be either holes in my quilt top when I trim the setting triangles, or my block points will be cut off.NOT GOOD!
I hope this is the only error - I still want to make the other quilts but I'm going to be extremely cautious in comparing the diagrams to the photos from now on.I've pulled a lot of my hair out over this one!
