Holice,
I swear I just believe you and I are among the "old-timey" quilters who 'came up' in the early 80s when all we *had* were our colored pencils, 6" rulers, and graph paper pads for designing our own blocks and quilts. I'm beginning to feel like a dinosaur every time I urge someone, even a 65 year old, to use this method for figuring out measurements and designs. I'm getting to the place that I'm just going to keep this great tip to myself from now on!
