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.
Just reading what you wrote for the instructions: 2 5/8 of light and
the same amount for the dark. You would need 5 1/4 yds altogether. 2 5/8 light, 2 5/8 dark. You got 60 out of 2 yds, you should get 60 out of the other 2 yds, then 4 sqs from the remainder each. At least, that is what I understand from those directions.
