Simple Streamers Pattern Revision

So I recently downloaded this super-cute (FREE!!) pattern from Robert Kaufman Fabrics. I thought it would be a great way to showcase some large-scale prints and couldn't wait to try it out.

I will be giving this quilt away as a gift, so I pulled some fabrics from my stash and got started. Once I decided what fabrics I wanted where, I grabbed my rulers and rotary cutter, turned to the cutting instructions and that's when I realized there was a problem. I truly hate to complain about a free pattern, but I do feel that if you are going to publish something like this, it should be close to accurate. I miscut lots of precious fabric trying to work this out, and that doesn't make me happy.

If you plan to make this quilt yourself, please disregard the cutting instructions included in the pattern. I will send these revisions directly to RKF as well, so hopefully they will eventually revise the download. In the meantime, feel free to use these cutting instructions.
