EQ will also provide the yardage you need. What I would need from you is the size of the finished quilt you want and how many colors you want t use in the blocks. Also do you want just one color as the setting triangles?Vicki Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929340703066037054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-5075311352960893962014-12-29T13:12:28.644-05:002014-12-29T13:12:28.644-05:00I forgot to say that we 'sane' quilters ad...I forgot to say that we 'sane' quilters add borders to quilts that need to be a certain size.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013261733996949731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-3275958283210498542014-12-29T13:11:13.334-05:002014-12-29T13:11:13.334-05:00I am no help whatsoever with the math part (I am a...I am no help whatsoever with the math part (I am a word person and tend to transpose numbers.) Perhaps you could get a starting point by taking the measurements that are on the pattern and doubling it. I would go with yardage mainly and then throw in some fat quarters that are the same colour and value but are different fabrics. It would add interest.<br />Have some fun with it.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013261733996949731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-6185246931288810872014-12-29T12:52:44.899-05:002014-12-29T12:52:44.899-05:00I feel your pine!

I too am a dummy when it comes to maths but do not fretthe Internet is your friend here as well as 6 our friendly neighborhood quilt shop.<br />you can find cheaters for quilt size on line just Google for quilt size chart and the best of them will calculate yardage for you too.<br />if you would rather the personal touch your local quilt shop can do much the same (warning! Jo-anns,hanckock, or michael's NOT the place to go!) Find a little cozy quilt shop with friendly women and they will stear you right.<br />you will not be the only sane newbie either.<br />go forth into sanity and good luck!<br />Momma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215840942640904965noreply@blogger.com
