that depends.. for example, a 96" (before the border, which I presume would be something else) quilt with 1.5" (finished size) "logs", as I drew it up would be 2 yds of cream 1, 2.5yeds of cream 2, 2 1/2 yds of the green and 1 1/5 yds of the rose. Since traditionally, one side of each block is lighter, the other darker, I started with the rose, then used the 2 creams on one side and alternating rose and green on the other. there are literally hundreds of different layouts you could use. You might prefer to have a variety in each color.
