yardage according to quilterscashe?
#1
I went through the math and figured out the yardage I would need for my sons twin quilt with the saw tooth star and it seemed really low. It said I would need .6 yards .6 yards and 1 yard for 3 colors. I'm doing 48 blocks. should i just buy more?

The standard size for a twin is 39" x 75" without extra drop for the sides and end. 2 1/4 yds would cover that, depending upon the blocks, borders, etc.. that you have. Your figures seem a little low to me, but if they came from a particular pattern, they may be right.
My advice is to get more, you can always have some for your stash, but you can't strech what you have.

ok i was doing the math wrong :) sorry! it comes out to be 2.6 yds, 1.08 yds and 7 yds for all 3 colors. that seems like alot to me for a twin top but i'll get it and if i have extra thats ok

I think Quilters Cache just gives the yardage for each block. It is up to you to figure out how much you will need for a quilt. Just decided how many blocks you will need to make and then multiply the yardage by the number of blocks. BTW .6 of a yard is 6 inches the width of fabric.
