EDIT: i miscalculated. the walls are 9' tall. so it would take 3 sheets, not 2. 2 across and then 1 split in half to go to the ceiling. remember, my quilts are 98 X 98, oversized queens, and the purpose is to see the entire layout. even with that, the quilt would lay on the floor a little. so it's $156 + for each panel x 3.
i corrected myself. yes. ideally i want 100 x 100. the wall gives me 12' wide and 9' tall. that allows me to lay out an oversized queen (i like 98 x 98 ) or even a king. in order to cover that space, it takes two panels of 6 x 6 across and another panel of 6 x 6 cut in half to go across the tops of the other two in order to fill that gap. one flat king-size sheet almost, not quite, fills in the whole space. when i compare the prices, i can't justify the justify the difference, even though it may be much better for the job. even good quality batting would cost less on sale with a coupon.
