Hmmmnnnn.... Let me see. If you divide width of fabric (say 40" wide) by
2.5 inches, you get 16. Then divide one yard which is 36" by 5 inches and you get 7 (and a smidgin) rows. So now you will have 16 x 7 pieces = 112 per yard.
8 packets of 40 pieces measuring 2 1/2" x 5" will give you 320 total.
As I figure this, you are actually getting only 3 yards of fabric, plus some
patterns, and a couple large pieces of fabric for the grand amount of $46 !
Now that is an expensive project in my estimation, or am I wrong in my
measurements?
