Of course the amount of each fabric used can only be determined by looking at the pattern but to get a ballpark amount and price I do a quick calculation using the above method.
This is what is given on the quilt block. The block should measure 13"x13". I was looking at a 5 blocks across and 6 blocks lengthwise and add a side border maybe 3-5". A total of 30 blocks. The sewn block would come out to be 12.5"x12.5". Below are the sizes for a block. Maybe you can help me calculate how much material based on 45" fabric.

Light green print for background: (4) 3-3/8" x 3-3/8" squares; (9) 3" x 3" squares
Lightest green print: (2) 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" squares
Deepest purple print: (2) 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" squares (for quarter square triangle units)
Purple/multicolor print: (4) 3-3/8" x 3-3/8" squares
Medium paisley print: (4) 3" x 3" squares
