So the distance from New York to Chicago is 790....Omaha to Chicago is 471.2....Chicago to Paducah is 375.6....can't figure out how much chocolate that would take for those two lovely quilters....speaking for myself....LOTS with maybe a few lattes thrown in so I would be wide awake and ready to SHOP!...and yes Ruby...I don't NEED any fabric! 😊

You guys are too funny.
I really wouldn't mess with a certain number of HST. I would probably make and save them for the next time.

Note: to get the number of combinations without rotating the position of squares, you need to choose "NO" for the order of #'s & can you repeat a number.

To get the number of combinations with just flip-flopping Color A & Color B, choose "YES" or the order of #'s.

If you want to calculate the combinations when rotating 1/4 turn, 1/2 turn & 3/4 turn, you'll still need to multiply that answer by 2.

***Choosing "YES" for repeating #'s will give you 2 HST's that are the same color.

Great tool, Vicki! Thanks for posting it for us!
