Question about fabric math
Acckkk ... I know this is probably an easy thing to figure out, but I haven't been able to, at least not with any degree of confidence. I have a pattern that calls for several of the colors, not in yardage, but "ten 10-inch squares." How many 10-inch squares are there in a yard of fabric? Thanks in advance. Help me keep the rest of my hair! lol

If my fabric is 36 inches long and 22 inches wide folded, I would get 12 -10 inch squares with a little left over on the length. If I got 1 yard and 1/4, I could get an extra 4 more squares. As posted, it depends on the folded width of your fabric.

Here's a link to a nice chart. It tells you how many squares are in a yard depending on the square size.
