Watson,glad to see you found the pattern for that block. EQ does seem to give generous estimates for yardage. But better more than not enough. And I do understand about the cost. That's why I don't understand putting $10/yd. and more for backings. But that's just me. Back to estimates for tops. I just made two quilts from M* following Jenny's utube videos and am quite upset. She said to use
all 42 10 in. squares in the layer cake to make hst's, to make one quilt. It only took 32!
I now have 80 hst's that are a waste. Guess who will not be doing any more M* quilts? May not even watch any more videos.
