I cut a 3” strip and subcut the 1.5” wide rectangles and squares from it. Next I trimmed out the 2.5” squares. This allowed me to have a larger scrap left so if you want to consider this, you can get 26 rectangles out of a 40” wide strip so you would want 2 if making the 25 block table topper.
For the larger blocks:
Count the number of outside block sides you have around the quilt. You will want 1 square and rectangle per block of EACH of the focus and background fabrics
