Millie, just cut 5 and 7/8 inch squares - cut in half diagonal (to make 5 inch blocks). The lavender shades were from 5 fat quarters. I just laid the sequence out on a bed before I pieced the rows (which I had numbered and marked left to right to keep the sequence correct). I think I bought 1 metre for the sprig print, also 1 metre for the border/binding, and quarter metre of the dark purple. The finished siz is 48 inches by 58 inches. It is very easy to do.
