each block will have 4 strips... so I will need a total of....
11*12=132 squares
132*4 strips per square = 528 strips????
Is that right? ahhh that is a lot... I got about 50 or so cut now heh... want to cut all before I start then just pull random from the stack for making the blocks, then pull blocks randomly for making the quilt top
so did I do that math correctly?
I'm so glad you asked this because I am thinking of doing the exact same thing! I think the scrappy will be pretty, and so "homey" and "old timey." At least that's my thinking! Good luck ... you'll get there!
