So, can anyone tell me how to calculate the number of 2" squares I would need for a lap quilt? Let's say 40X60, just to put a number on it.
I used to be really good at algebra, but I haven't taken a math class in more than 10 years and it's definitely a use it or loose it subject.
Thanks in advance.

It's easy enough to me. If you want 2" finished, then divide 40" by 2. Seems to me you would need 20 across and 30 down. Then add 1/2" to each one for seams.
