    Get familiar with these sites: http://www.unitednotions.com/un_main.nsf/main?openpage
    http://www.unitednotions.com/un_main.nsf/tutorials SORRY, THIS LINK IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.


    http://www.unitednotions.com/measurements-bedding.pdf .pdf of the chart you need.

    There are charts that give sizes and lots of fun things here.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Jelly Rolls - 2.78 yards
    Layer Cake - 3.05 yards (this gives a couple "extra" 10" blocks)
    Charm Pack - .85 yards (you'll get a few extra 5" squares in that last strip)
    Turnovers - 1.2 yards
    Honey Buns - 1.75 yards

    This is all my own math, but should be right.
