Has anyone made a jigsaw puzzle quilt? I am going to order a pattern but was curious about the yardage. I'd like to get a jump start on getting fabric for it. My husband loves puzzles so I thought I would finally make something for him on his birthday. Thanks for any info!!! :)

Do a search on here for the puzzle quilts. There are a few different patterns and directions. you don't have to buy a pattern. you can just use scraps of all different prints and fabrics.

Here is a topic with free patterns...
You can also get an idea from these for fabric requirements :D:D:D

The math I did uses 1 fat quarter = 2 puzzle blocks. And since I was doing it as a FQ quilt, that's all the measurement I needed.

What you can do is figure out how much fabric 1 block needs (varies depending on your puzzle piece size) and use that to figure out how much to buy of each color.

Have lots of FQ so will try you idea.

I'm actually working on it now. 1 fat quarter will give you exactly (like with 1" x 2.5" of excess) 4 blocks. Exactly 4.
