Hurricane season starts in June. Just think of us when we run from our houses to our cars and into the stores just to be in air conditioning. LOL

Question for those who already made their blocks. Do you agree with the following?
I've been calculating fabric requirement.
I came up with 0.5 yd Black and 2/3s yd each color.

Yes, those are closer to what is used, but I allowed a little extra for those who may be new, (allowing for cutting errors) and also if someone were purchasing the fabric, I would rather they get a little more than be short and not be able to get matching.
