For some reason I think I might need 61 blocks but then I might be totally off too. I do not mind some extra blocks so I will still make three of each of the remaining blocks I still have to go.
The diagonal measurement of a 10" block is 14 1/8 inches. Would depend on what size the sashing is. I'd start by using 120" and deducting 12" for borders; so now you have 108" to fill. 7 blocks x 7 blocks would be 49 blocks. Rounding up 14 1/8 to 14.25 would be 7x14.25=99.75 then add the sashing measurements. I'm not sure but I think you will probably only need 49 blocks. Janet
