Red Mosaic Blocks for January

And then there were forty quarter-blocks

featuring a wide variety of reds.

Earlier this month when Mosaic was introduced,

I calculated I would need to make

 32 quarter-blocks per month.

That was before I realized that 

those 3" blocks would finish at 2.5" 

which then meant that the 

four-part block would finish at 5" 

instead of 6 inches.

My revised plan now calls for a layout 

with eighteen 2.5" blocks across 

by twenty-two 2.5" blocks long

for a total of 396 2.5" blocks.

Those 396 quarter-blocks will yield 99 5" blocks

which will be laid out 9 across x 11 long

for a top measuring 45" x 55"

So instead of die cutting 

2,560 quarter square triangles,

I 'll need 3,168 QSTs.

I wonder which focal color 

Angela will choose for February . . .
