    I learned that method on Simply Quilts about 20 years ago, I haven't used it in years though but there are tutorials on the technique.

    Yes, I've done it before. However, didn't the way to calculate it. Thanks for the reference.

    Has anyone used the multipatch calculator recently? It worked great and saved me tons of fabric. Now I just get a blank web page. Also, I find that the Jinny Beyer pdf works in some browsers and/or pdf viewers and not others. What is the current experience of others? Has anyone bought the John Flynn app that automates his calculations?

    John Flynn came up with this method decades ago when his sister asked him to figure out how she could make a backing fit her quilt and she didn't have enough fabric. It works great. I have used it many times.
