It has me make 6 of each. I figured to get the size I need, I need 21 of each of the blocks. Do I just times what it tells me to buy originally by 4 (gives me enough to make 24 blocks which I will use for some pillow shams), and will that give me enough for the blocks?
Oops. The original pattern is 6 blocks *each* of two different blocks, making 12 blocks. If you need 24 blocks to get the size you want, then you need to buy 2 times as much fabric, not 4 times!
