Costs are calculated via my Quilt Price Calculator: Factors are the size & pieces as mentioned above and the presets for a twin quilt. I have not calculated the backing with the actual gazillion pieces, because they would have been scraps otherwise. I used the fictual number of 4 for the backing pieces. Also I did not adjust the offcut for fpp because this block was fairly offcut-free.
