Since the cutting was only with the 2" strip cutter, my DH was able to do some voodoo math and assured me there was enough fabric.
So fortunately he was right. There was even a little left over. Which is good because I changed a 2" square to a 2.5 for more coverage. One place the square was cut on the diagonal. The resulting triangle was too close for comfort. So I was able to recut 60 squares to accomodate the change.
I find I only use my Studio for cutting strips. Most everything else there is a better way to make the unit. ie: flying geese units.
Why cut them individually when you can make 4 at a time oversized and then trim?
I like buying kits because I lack the design gene. But for several reasons they are a problem. I like to prewash. Sometimes one or two of the fabrics doesn't suit me. And there's no "oops" factor built in.
