This weekend I worked on a project I needed ( leaders & Enders ) for, had a stack of 3" squares so started with those, then as I needed more I went to a scrap tote & any piece large enough to get 3" squares from was cut up. I managed to ( so far) use another 3+yards of stash/ scrap fabrics so far! I'm working on a quilt that is sort of a column quilt with 42 pieces in each column, I'm using 43 ( leaders, Enders) for each column, can't chain piece this one. There are 20 columns ... That comes out to 1680 ( leaders/Enders) or, 3360 (3") squares! 156 (3") squares to a yard, holy- moly...that comes out to 21 1/2 yards of fabric! That should make a good dent by the time I'm done! Wow, should not have done the math, that's a little overwhelming.
