500 sq" x 8 sets = 4000 sq" to the Candy Bar offer

36" x 41" = 1476 sq" to a yd of quilter's fabric

4000 sq" per Candy Bar offer divided by 1476 sq" per yd of quilter's fabric = 2.71 yds of quilter's fabric in the Candy Bar offer

$46.99 cost divided by 2.71 yds of quilter's fabric in Candy Bar offer = $17.34 per yard !!!!!!!!

Waaaay too rich for my blood. Or my pocketbook either.

This is why they keep offering all these cut up pieces, more bucks. Interesting too, that when all cut up into small pieces, a little flaw that once would have rendered a cut unsaleable, can be discarded and sold for MORE! Thanks for doing the math, its why I cut my own. Yes I was scared to death of a rotary cutter until I found the one from grace with the ridge on the ruler, now I feel very safe. :-)
