piecing layout #1

While we wait for a computer program to work, I want to share Common Bed Sizes with you:

Crib 23" X46"
Youth 32" X 66"
Twin 39" X 75"
Double 54" X 75"
Queen 60" X 80"
King 78" X 80"
California King 72" X 84"

And Decimal to Inch Converions:

.125 = 1/8"
.25 = 1/4"
.375 = 3/8"
.50 = 1/2"
.625 = 5/8"
.75 = 3/4"
.875 = 7/8"
1.00 = 1"

We can't get away from the math, but if we print it out, write it down and put it with our quilting supplies, it will be easy to work with. We still have a lot more ahead of us but this is going to be it for this time. I will have my scanner up and running for next time.
Be sure to write any comments or question you mite have with the comment bar and share with us any blocks you have made, using Mr. Link.

Thank you for looking and have a GREAT DAY QUILTING!
