Finally! I get to count the fabric used in my Triangle Madness. I 'drew' it in EQ7 and it said I used 35 yards just for the top-that would be 44 yards for the whole quilt. After reading some in the EQ7 manual I found out that the shapes in the quilt have a square drawn around then are figured into the yardage. So I recolored the quilt so all the triangles were one color and the rectangles another. Then I halved the triangle amount; it is 15 yards for the triangles. 6 yards for the other pieces. 9 yards for the back. So that makes it 30 yards! It is a very heavy quilt. Here it is in just 2 colors.....
donated, same: 71 yards
used, changed: 128 yards
purchased, same: 109.25 yards
