I also hope it will be useful to someone besides me--I've needed to do this calculation several times, so I finally decided to write equations for it.

While looking at tutorials I saw this and had to see what coping strips are. I was so surprised. I have been doing this since I started quilting 6 years ago and never knew it was a technique. I just thought I was fixing my mistakes! Enjoyed your tutorial, BTW. Good job.
