So ....since it has been so hot and humid. and very hard to breathe outside I have been spending a lot of time in my nicely finished cool basement. Laying low and doing some organizing and tossing and shredding....you have the idea.

I came across this piece of info....thought this was interesting.....


Did you know that with ONE full size Jelly Roll you can.....bind 5 twin size quilts
or....bind 4 queen size quilts
or....bind 3 king size quilts
OR cut 640 2.5" squares!!!!!!!!

and more.............................with a 5" square you can get 4 ....2.5" squares
with a 10" square you can get 16....2.5" squares
with a 2.5" x 42" strip you can get 16...2.5" squares
with a fat eighth you can get 24....2.5" squares
with a fat quarter you can get 56.....2.5" squares.

When I look around at all my uncut scraps I think I have 298,876,376,394,987,209,387,445,908 ....2.5" squares
