Quilter's Math - UGH ! ! ! Help Please ! ! !
#12
Please don't do that Jan!! My issue is that if I could have a piece if graph paper 12" square I would do that as well. But, since I had been given EQ as a gift, it is quicker for me to do it up in EQ than tape 4 pieces of graph paper together - lol! That being said I sometimes doodle on graph paper designing blocks. It is easier to erase and move lines on graph paper than on the computer. Also, you do incredible things in Paint.

Holice,
I swear I just believe you and I are among the "old-timey" quilters who 'came up' in the early 80s when all we *had* were our colored pencils, 6" rulers, and graph paper pads for designing our own blocks and quilts. I'm beginning to feel like a dinosaur every time I urge someone, even a 65 year old, to use this method for figuring out measurements and designs. I'm getting to the place that I'm just going to keep this great tip to myself from now on!
