What version of EQ are you using? Eq 6 and 7 have much more accurate fabric requirements. The EQ program figures that one half of a half square triangle is one full square of fabric. That will increase the amounts. Also in the older programs the default for borders was on the length of the fabric, not the width. I use the fabric requirements as guide lines. So a wee small amount of figuring will help you in the fabric amounts you need. Luann in CT
