I would suggest sketching out the whole quilt ahead of time. I did the corner region (like in my Excel sheet), did some quick math, and figured out how much of each piece I needed. Well, my math *may* have been off one piece which *may* have been how I came up with the blue piece in the border idea (though I admit nothing and meant to do it that way), so I would suggest grabbing colored pencils and sketching the WHOLE thing out, not just trusting your math skills. Especially if you don't have extra of the fabrics ;) ;)
