Impossible to get 128 7 1/4 square blocks from 2 5/8 yards
or I found it so. Is it possible? I cut from selvage to selvage, 7 1/4 inch strips; I pressed the stripes, stretched them out straight, and cut the 7 1/4 inch blocks out on 2 yards and only got 60 of the 128 needed. I think I need more fabric than the instructions said. Instructions said 2 5/8 of light fabric and the same amount for the dark to make the hour glasses...128 blocks. I failed and only got 60 out of two yards. Thanks for all your replies...you are the greatest at QB.
