Glad to help. My repeat was approx 17 3/4 inch. So I cut a row every 17 3/4. Do NOT measure this. Use the begin and end of part of the design. My fabric was inexpensive and the design wasn't 100% accurate. But it was only off a smidge here and there.

Since i had basiclly and 18 inch repeat, i bout 4 yards. I always get extra.
just rememer to measure ur repeat and take it times 6 and that will be the minimum inches you have to buy.

Just jump in both feet and go for it! Its only fabric, not surgery. :-P
