I'm making a blanket out of crocheted flowers sewn together. One flower is around 1.5 inches. There are 3 colors. Round off the number of flowers of each color to 100 each meaning, there are 300 in total. In order to keep the blanket straight and not slanting, the rows have to be:
X (where x is an even number of flowers)
X-1
This pattern repeats for the rest of the rows.
What is the maximum length and width I can achieve if I want it to be a rectangle but not a square? It's all right if a few flowers get left out in the final product for as long as the blanket is a full rectangle.
This is an old problem. In the end, I used 18 as my x and 17 as my odd since 289 is the closest square to 300. I remember solving a similar problem a few years back, but I don't remember how to solve it now hahaha!
