				<description><![CDATA[Bolts of fabric can be as long as we ask for, but they`re 45" wide. (We
really can only use maybe 43" given that the edges often have machine
damage as they roll through the rollers.)

Actually, at $2.87/yd., we`re finding it`s not that importa]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[:-) No, quilters know how to cut things out and fit stuff into square
yards, but that`s not what this is about. Doesn`t matter much, anymore,
since the material is inexpensive enough that we can eyeball it and
throw away some amount when we`re done.

				<description><![CDATA[Yes, if the rectangles are all the same size, it`s an easy proposition.
However, they`re not. For examples, we have X different flags using the
color Yellow. One uses a 34"x3" strip. Another uses an 11"x11" square.
Another uses three 11"x3" strips.]]></description>
