I'm thinking of making a blooming 9 patch from my stash, but am wondering what the largest amount of fabric needed is for say a full or queen size quilt. I don't want to start cutting anything unless I know I'll have enough, can anybody help?

According to the pattern, a 72"x82" quilt (without borders), using 3¾" finished squares, requires 8 fabrics. The largest yardage required is 1.875 yards. Does that help?

Ghostrider, thanks, yes that definitely helps! Dottymo, I started with Google, but couldn't find what I wanted! Thanks anyway though!

The Blooming 9 Patch quilt is in the book by Blanche Young, Tradition With a Twist. There are many beautiful quilt patterns there. The book is out of print, but available at an excellent price from at least one seller on eBay.

There is an app on the iTunes store that has helped me bunches. Unfortunately it only works with iPhone, iPad, and IPod touch. If possible, take a look and see what you think. I think it should be accessable for quilters everywhere!

Do take a look. It has colorways, patterns, fabric amounts. Everything.

Don't own an iPhone iPad or IPod touch but I have been a card carrying organ donor for 40 years or more.
