[quote=Plumtree]Thank you all, glad to know I am not out of my mind here. Math is not my strong suit so when mine gets questioned I get nervous.
I will not change the pattern because I would then have to change it for the rest of the class, which isnt' fair to me or the girls that have all ready purchased fabric. I realize now that this lap quilt will be a bit big and the next group it will be sized down a bit, I'm learning too. I just didn't like the way I felt after reading this email and wanted to make sure my math and thinking were on the same path.
Happy Quilting Tammy
Does this mother quilt? I doubt that she does. Maybe you should invite her to come and assist you in the class to get the idea of how much material is actually needed. But then she would probably hold you back by trying to direct your class. Sorry you are having so many problems..maybe next time you need to make up a kit and tell them it costs X amount of $$ for the supplies and it will be the same cost for everyone.
Good luck..crafty_linda_b
