I’m not sure how much fabric to buy. Since the # of blocks is almost half of the original should I cut the fabric requirements in half and had a bit? For instance if it calls for 2 yards, buy 1 1/8 or maybe 1 1/4? (Gets a little trickier when it calls for odd amounts like 1 2/3.)
And I know it will get even trickier when it comes to actual cutting and figuring out how many squares to cut and hsq’s to make. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
