I am trying to determine how to cut my quilt out that was designed in EQ7. My question concerns how EQ7 calculates yardage.

When I print-preview the quilt yardage it tells me that it is assumed that all long pieces ARE pieced.

Does that mean that the borders will be cut width of fabric (and having to piece the strips togethether in order to get 4 strips for the top/bottom & right/left sides)?

But the fabric-amount info seems to be including enough for me to cut it length of fabric (in other words, cut into 4 pieces).

So I am confused on how to proceed. I worry that cutting my blocks 1st will make me not have enough material or if I cut borders first, I may not have enough.

Can anyone tell me how the yardage is being figured for EQ7?

Thanks in advance,
