The instructions for a 12" block are on post #18 of this thread:
Cooper's finished quilt
I think you need around 2 yards of each of your fabrics. The last couple of these we made used smaller blocks and I think they turned out better. Here are two of them:
Another set of twins - Ellery & Aubrey
You can fold your fabric and play with proportions to get it how you like it to avoid cutting up too much fabric.

In order to estimate yardage there are several things you will have to know.
1. What size is the finished quilt to be? There is a major difference between a throw and a kingsize.
2. Is it to be scrappy or only 2 colors?
3. What size do you plan for the finished blocks to be?
4. Will there be a border, and if so, how wide is the border?
5. Will you be using pre-cuts and jelly rolls or yardage?
These are some of the versions of the quilt. https://www.pinterest.com/ldudge/potato-chip-quilt/ Perhaps if you show us the fabrics you will be using we might be of more help.

You can't make just one! It's my go to pattern for charity quilt top making. With a layer cake and coordinating jelly roll or yardage, it's lightning fast to work up. You can alternate just two colors or, with good contrast, use up leftover scrap strips and squares. It works with three, four, or even more coordinating fabrics. You can replace the center with four or nine patch orphans. I usually stick with a center square that's either 8 1/2" or 10" but there's no rule book. Once you make one, you will understand the name!
