Help with measurement of blocks
I bought a ruler called, Log Cabin Trim Tool Two to make a log cabin block.. I did try making one block out of some scrap fabric to just see how this ruler worked and it was really great, the only problem i have now is I want to make a king size quilt but don't know how to figure out how much fabric I need for each color. There is three dark colors and three light colors to make a log cabin block. I pulled out fabric from my stash but I am afraid that after I get going on this quilt I may run out of some of the fabric. There would be no way to buy more fabric if I did run out as this fabric has been in my stash for a long time.
anyone know how to figure out the amount of fabric I would need for each color.. or maybe I should just go for it and hope I have enough of each color.. What would you do? The block ends up as a 12 inch block...Thanks
