    Would I need more than 3 x 1 FQs for this?

    http://www.quilterscache.com/C/Carpe...heelBlock.html Hello, I have made this as a wallhanging for my Sister a few years back and have decided to do a class on it for my Ladies, which will mean I will also get one for myself Quilterscache is great but they are not too good in giving you the overall amount of fabrics that you need and I used yards of materials I had in stock for my Sister's one so could you ladies help pretty please.

    Here in the UK, we use metres instead of yards so our FQs are a little larger, approx: 19.5 x 22 inches and I have read and re-read and I am none the wiser. I can get this set of FQs http://www.amazon.co.uk/Always-Knitt...GY1A16RW302KMX for such a good price but I do not really want leftover Christmas fabrics, have too many as it is, so HELP pretty please

    How big are the pieces? Without that, it's pretty tough to answer your question. On the other hand, I'm sure you could make it fit, simply by making a smaller block.

    Looking at the instructions for a 24" block, you need four 3 7/8" strips (from a fat quarter, 21" wide - they use 2 42" WOF strips), and 2 3 1/2" strips of colour 3. Everything else uses less. That totals about 16" + 7" = 23". So your FQ of colour 3 will be slightly too small. The other colours would be fine.

    I think this pattern is for a whole quilt, but perhaps it can help you? I made a quilt from this pattern, and I found it pretty easy. Like I said, I think this is larger than you want....but it just came to mind as I read your post, so I thought I would send it along.

    I count 10 square across and 10 squares done. I think that this quilt is square. If the squares are 2" finished, then your quilt would be 20" x 20" You have to remember that with the HST you will need 3" squares and then the plain squares will be 2.5" I don't think you will have enough of what ever is used in the border with just a fat quarter. Just count the number of square and half square triangles and you should be able to figure it out in your metric measurement. Good Luck.
