I really liked the post about setting aside a larger chunk of time for the steps that are harder for you. I need to make me/cutting squares a priority for that one free day I have each week. Who needs groceries and clean dishes/laundry, right? :P
still fuzzy maths:
If my duvet cover is 90" and my squares are cut at 6", when I factor in seams, I need 16.3ish squares to cover the width (or length, since it is a square!) so let's go with 16 and it will be 88". I might make a border, or I might cut more squares, but there is some extra space on the current cover, so maybe 88" will be fine.
16x16 = 256 I like 16 better than 17 because I can sew them into 4 patches. But if I go with 17, then the pattern (maybe a trip around the world?) can be symmetrical... Too many choices!
Let's get back to cutting and then I can lay it out. I want to keep this a flexible plan. :)
I will use this project as my March OMG (Elm Street Quilts): cut more squares, enough to get me to the half-way point... And this will also be one of my new 6and6 in 2018. (future link)
Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
