Dear Jane Plain Tris/Scallops yardage needed
 

I've seen some fabulous Baby Janes posted here that have all of the plain triangles and scallops in a single fabric, instead of scrappy, like the mother quilt. It has inspired me to do the same with my DJ, but I can't find the yardage requirement anywhere.

I'm ready to start assembling the top row of triangles, but want to make sure I have enough of the fabric to go all the way around.

Dear Janiacs, Please help! :)

i'd put in my EQ, but triangles yardage is always overestimated due to not taking advantage of turning the template one way then the next. I'd take the template, lay out a strip of fabric, and lay out the number of triangles needed to see how much yardage. hth

starch your fabric stiff before you cut

Thank you for the advice. I was just being lazy and didn't want to perform a search and rescue mission for that silly template.

FYI, I can get 14 tris out of the WOF, and four rows of 14 will will give me make the 56 plain tris needed. At just a hair over 8-1/2", that's about a yard. I di not even want to try the math for the scallops, lol, but 1/2 yard should be more than enough. I set aside 2 yards to allow for my boo-boos



That is an excellent suggestion. I will definitely do that!

Thank you both for the advice! Seeing real progress on my DJ is so exciting!
