<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;"> [|Strips per yard chart- A very handy tool!] <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;"> (see back page of newsletter) <span style="color: #121212; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">As a quilter, I am often befuddled with the mathematics when working on a new project. This little chart has been a big help to me when I am trying to figure how much fabric I will need for border strips. I just measure the 4 sides of the quilt for the total, decide how wide I want to make my strips and then use the chart to help me figure out how much fabric I will need.
