Probably but I do my own math. Grid paper is my best friend. I draw the layout of the blocks first and I count the grid lines to represent inches picking a scale that makes sense. Then I mark in the sashing and count how many I need in one row. Divide the width of the sashing into the width of your fabric and that will tell you how many you can cut across. Then figure out the length you need based on total count. Gosh I hope that makes sense.
