Hello!
Well I ordered a quilt kit and it did not come pre cut. The cutting instructions are odd to me that is an example:
From print 1, cut:
2 (5, 10) - 2 7/8" strips, scut into 20 (64, 132) - 2 7/8" squares

So these instructions have these numbers in parentheses what do they mean? There are even some that say (100, 196).

any ideas?

Hello, and welcome from Dallas, Tx. I'm sorry I can't answer your question about quilt kits. I've never ordered one.
It looks like a puzzle. Someone will be one here to answer tho'. Just hang on!

Do you have a picture of the quilt kit you bought?

I wonder if the various numbers refer to which size quilt you are making, i.e lap, twin etc. That's the only thing I can think of.

Usually, the instructions in the parenthesis indicate how many pieces you need to cut for different sized quilts. Somewhere in the description the different finished sizes should be listed.

For example, if the directions for your quilt include a lap, twin and queen size, than 2 (5,10) 2-7/8" strips, cut into 20 (64,132) -1-7/8" squares means for a lap size quilt you would cut 2 strips that are 2-7/8 wide, the cut each strip down into 2-7/8" squares.

For a twin-sized quilt, you would need 5 strips, and 64 squares total, and for a queen size, it would be 10 strips, and 132 squares total.

Good luck!

That makes a much more sense! Thank you! Biggest Bear hug ever to you!

I agree, they are giving # of pieces/strips for three different sizes..... Glad it makes sense now.
