    Thank you. I kept seeing the 7/8th in pattern's but it didn't occur to me I could use that as a standard formula and I couldn't make the math work. So yes, as long as I don't think about it too hard, it does make sense.

    In my mind Denis's math is correct but as he says I would do a test run first.

    Thank you all, I couldn't do fractions as a kid, I couldn't do fractions as a mother and now as you can see I can't do fractions as a quilter LOL. Since this quilt is for a baby shower gift I may stick to the four patch which I do well but I will be making quilts for my four grandchildren so I will do a couple of test runs and use the pinwheels for some of those.
    Happy Quilting
