Thanksgiving Brain Teaser

If you're looking to challenge your child during the break, look no further than our quilt!

During my second visit to the class, I gave the kids this math problem while I set up my supplies. They only had five minutes to figure it out before we had to move on.

However, our lucky children now have a week of unencumbered bliss--and time to turn their brains into pretzels.

Here it goes:

Our quilt is 98" wide and 103" long. There is a 10" sashing (border) around the edge. There are 12 panels in the quilt--three panels across, and four panels down. The burning question: what is the size (in inches) of each panel?
