Daily Math

I have a math problem. I can add, subtract, multiply and divide, but I can’t seem to apply it all to real life. One of you great quilters sent me a patchwork bear pattern for my Wednesday Needleworkers to make for charity. "No problem." I said. "I’ll make 20 12"x18" pieced blocks and you can assemble the bears." One panel equals one full, hard day’s work. Doesn’t sound so bad. But, 20 bears equals 20 days with no time off for good behavior. That’s a total of one month with doctor’s appointments and an occasional evening with my husband sandwiched in. I need a course in hours/days/weeks.
