How much yardage do I need?
 

Can someone please help me figure this out. My brain seems to be out in space somewhere.

I need 10 squares of flannel cut into 8 inch squares. How much yardage do I need? This is what Im thinking.....
If flannel is 40 inches wide (I dont know how wide flannel is) if I cut 2 strips 8 in by 8 inch wouldnt I get eight 8 inch square blocks out of each strip? So if Im right would I just need a half a yard?

5 x 8 = 40, so you would only get 5 - 8" squares per strip. So, you will need 16" of fabric, cut into 2 - 8" wide strips, each strip then cut into 5 - 8" squares.

Thank you so much. I guess part of my brain was still in tact. Lol

This website has saved me from many headaches. http://www.quiltersparadiseesc.com/Calculators.php
I also have an app on my phone, Robert Kaufman Quilt Calculator.

Thanks Im headed there now to check it out. Sadly Joanns here the people that work there no NOTHING about quilting. Surprises me they even work there. And theres one lady working there that shouldnt be as she is the most rudest horrible unfriendliest person there.

Thank you for this website it's great. I love setting triangle measurements
