I want to make a quilt top consisting of HSTs pieced into chevrons....so, just HST's to do...simple, clean, neat. Now, am I correct, or rather is my maths correct that the smaller the chevrons, therefore the smaller the HST's therefore the more fabric I will need as I am using more blocks or rather, seams, to maintain my quilt size? By my calculations, making my top and keeping the measurement the same, out of finished 8" chevrons consisting of 4 HST blocks of 4.5 inches each, I will use almost half as much fabric as I would if I was making the finished chevrons 6" or even 7"each? Dear oh dear am I right? Am I waaaaaay off and in need of remedial arithmetic classes?
p.s. I'm blushing just thinking about the eye rolls and guffaws of mirth coming from you all!!
