YOU DID IT! both of you!!! so interesting so totally different.. and yes working with that directional fabric.. yikes! you give me lots of credit but bravo to both of you making such a different round out of what would have been a truly simple round. I think your amazing!
I think if you want to make your life easier listen to what Jaba has said. IT makes perfect sense. Take your quilt size.. whatever it is and ignore that ending number say 35.5 or 36.5.. and just say my quilt is 35 or 36. Now you know your quilt is say 36. division is then so easy its simple a number that goes evenly into the block. TADA! when your stuck in your head on the .5 part you lose the simple easy math of the whole number. 36 divided by: 2 equals 18 blocks, by 3 is 13 parts, 4 is 9 ... now you know how to get the size blocks your thinking look best on your quilt. its that simple. oodles of worrying right out the window. just do the basic math. and boy I think simple is good and these are indeed simple. My next round is going to be a... oh not yet. almost. sigh. its so simple and fun. you could easily make it controlled and very even toned by using just two colors. You could also use as many colors as you like to make it fun yet easy. oh so many choices! best part: its simple. We are going simple next time so everyone can catch up. please do give things a try. and once again.. ask. its ok to ask. PM either Jan or myself and we will gladly help you if you get stuck. This will be fun (LOL).
