Um. This Breathe Block (the Row by Row PDF) has the Diamond Padding instructions from Block 4 at the top. That’s a tiny bit confusing.
Ouch! I may have uploaded an earlier version instead of the final… I check it right now and get back to you.
Thank you! <3
Corrected! Luckily that was the only mistake, I had forgotten to change the name of the pattern on that line.
Thank you for letting me know!
