Quilting Queen I'm Not

I got antsy this week to quilt. My drive to sew diapers has gone on hiatus since Junior outgrew his two sizes so fast. I spent hours upon hours making him all these great, adorable, useful dipes only to have him wear each size for one week. That's it. One week. That's almost 30 diapers and covers. (don't worry, they've moved onto a new home!)

So I found a pretty quilt pattern with all of the info that I hate figuring out. It told me exactly what to buy at the store, how to cut it and how to put it together. Except I can't seem to read directions.



Looks pretty simple. Maybe even easy enough for a Queen to do it, right?
It says to make it in rows then attach the rows together. So I made this row:


And apparently the instructions point out that you're supposed to make Vertical rows. So I rip out the first block and make my vertical row. Then realize that I've turned 3 of the blocks 90 degrees in the wrong direction. So I rip those out. THEN, I sew the second vertical row and begin attaching it to my first row. Only to find out halfway down that I've added the wrong pieces. And it's like 2 feet longer than the first row and it's not matching up!

I ROCK!

I QUIT!
