Your formula is simpler .. it takes me awhile to figure out if we are both saying the same thing <g> ... I went back through, and I think my math (though more convoluted) is correct, because what I was trying to show was how long the strip had to be cut to have the square for the four patch and the strip ... that way, one knows if I have enough of a strip to make the complete block. <wave> Good deal! :wink:
