OK, your "really quick back of envelope" lesson has blown me away. ha ha. I am so envious of you quilters who, in my opinion, are math geniuses. I will probably be cutting my squares for each hexi at 2" each. Because of my simple math mind, I will probably be sitting & counting each block, then multiplying it by 2". I'd guess I could do the same for my background blocks, too.
On the same topic but different, my plan is to just piece each of the cream color background blocks and not applique them as I've read some do. I'm guessing this will work. For some reason I just LOVE all kinds of handwork, but not applique. I don't understand why.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate it!
