24 blocks X 33 blocks = 792 blocks X 20 min per block = 15840 min divided by 60 min per hour = 264 hrs

792 blocks X 7 yd per block = 5544 yd X .9114 = 5069.43 meters divided by 420 meters per skein = 12.07 100 gr skeins

the above does not include the border edging

Love the mathematics--I went through them with my 11 year old. :-) Additional calculations (converting yards to feet, dividing by 5280)came to 3.15 miles of yarn!

Congratulations on completing this beautiful blanket.

Gee, anonymous, 3.15 miles of yarn- that impresses me. (I hope I got my math right)
