Calculator

I just came across this site and found this calculator to help figure how many strips of fabric you need to cut for the size block you are making.
I'm sure I am explaining this totally wrong but thought I would share the site. I hope this is alright. I know figuring this stuff out is going to be an issue for me.

Thanks for the link. It helps to even calculate the best size of block for minimal waste! Great.
ie. if you plug in 6" squares with a WOF 40" you'll need 17 strips for 100 blocks.
Same if you use 6.5" blocks.
But if you go up to a 7" block, you need 22 strips - a lot more fabric.
I might just change up a pattern to waste less fabric!

Well I figured I couldn't possibly be the only person out there who would have problems trying to figure out how many strips of fabric to cut to get the correct number of squares for the correct number of blocks I want to make. Math was never my strongest subject.
