Rachel, you might not need as much as you think. If you think of the largest diamond shape on the quilt (in my case it was a Turqoise that went from A7 to G13, to M7 to G1, I only had 1 yard). Admittedly, there isn't much left of it, but I thought that wsan't bad. The four blocks around the middle block, I had a fat quarter to do them, and again, that went well
