What Size to Make?

How many times do you just start to make a quilt and have no idea what size its going to be? As I was surfing around the internet I found the best site to help figure that out.
And I quote Right from the site "This is a great little calculator to estimate how much quilt material you will need if you are creating your own quilt. Just input the information requested and hit the calculate button. Always buy just-a-little-bit more to allow for miscalculations and cutting mistakes". I was so excited to find this. I really could have used it a few quilts ago! LOL!

You can also buy the FabriCalc quilting calculator. I couldn't figure it out,  but several ladies in the guild have them and sear by them. It does everthing the one above does plus makes calculations for half square triangles, blocks, sashing, borders, backing, binding, batting and even the cost. I really wish I could figure it out!!
