I've got my Week 1 four patches sewn. My background fabric is only 40" wide so only got 26 pieces per WOF. Ended up with 78 blocks and no extras. I made two more so I'd have my 80 and will wait until we use the "extras" to sew them up.



This is the second time I've run into the problem that the pattern was figured using 44/45 wide fabric and I've got newer stuff that is only 40". The worst was when I needed longer pieces and the pattern figured 3 per WOF and I could only get 2. So it was either put a seam in them, use a lot more fabric or rotate them. The problem with rotating is then you end up with no stretch along the long direction. Makes easing in a lot more challenging.
