Math Question
I want to make a 12" (finished) Disappearing 9 Patch quilt top.
I have 2 yards of light fabric & 2 1/2 yards of dark fabric (each is 42" wide)
I want to make each square with 5 dark fabrics & 4 light fabrics. I will cut each square 4 3/4" in order to end up with a 12" finished block.
I want to use 5 (12" blocks) across the top & 6 (12" blocks down the side).
I don't plan on using any sashing or borders on the quilt.
Will I have enough yardage on hand to make 30 Disappearing 9 patch blocks for the quilt top?
I know this math problem is simple for a lot of people but I'm math challenged & can't for the life of me figure this out. I want to make sure before I start cutting into my fabric. I know I will loose inches by cutting the blocks & re-sewing them into the Disappearing 9 Patch.
Thanks for any help on this one.
