Now I've got the strips cut from Birgit's scraps, and here's what they look like.
If you look at it just the right way, you'll see in the lower left corner a yellow blotch with a brownish spot in the middle.
When I noticed that corner, it occurred to me that the pile of scraps look rather like Winnie the Pooh. Only not your typical Winnie, but rather a Winnie-the-Pooh which had been rather badly slaughtered. I wonder if Ingrid would understand if I named the quilt "Winnie, formerly the Pooh."
Anyway, I cut the strips, then weighed one of the original pieces, which was about 1/3 meter. The third of a meter weighed about 52 grams. Extrapolating (remember your math?) I conclude that a meter of this fabric weighs about 150g.
So how much did I cut? 95 grams, or about 2/3 of a meter. That's just batiks, though, regular quilt fabric tends to weigh more.
Math, and quilting, and slaughtered stuffed animals all in one evening. Looks like I've reached my creative nirvana.

oooh Karen, mir scheint, als ob man sich um Dich kümmern müßte. Deine Gedankensprünge sind schon sehr bedenklich.
Halte durch bis Freitag!!!!
Girl, sometimes I wonder about you. But I do like the title of this quilt.
So love the batiks! Can't wait to see the finished piece.
