[quote=KrystynaThe math is a little complicated to follow but here goes
468 actual pieces
Plus Stressful Shrinkage Factor
Times emotional turmoil
Equals 196,000[/quote]
Odds are you won't make a whole quilt in class. Why not just cut half of the pieces you need for the top. That should be plenty.
I had a similar issue many years ago when I ironed instead of pressed 280 diamonds for this Star of Bethlehem. I stretched them into different shapes than they needed to be. I had to re-cut and I had to re-think and re-buy as well, because I didn't have enough of some of the fabrics. I never forgot the lesson.
We live and learn. Sometimes it's painful. Aarrgggh! But you'll be just fine. And so will your quilt! Please show us when you're done.
