Hi everyone,
When I go to make a quilt, I just go to the store and buy a yard of this, 3/4 of this, 1/2 of this and usually end up with more fabric than needed.
Well, with money a bit tight right now, I would prefer to buy closer to what I need. I am making a quilt for my daughter, I would like to make 2 one twin and one queen. The queen one will be one that I would have her put away until she gets married. Both of these I would like to give her for Christmas.
The pattern I am looking at is "starflower" from quilter's cache. It tells me for color 1 I need 2 strips 3 7/8" X 7 3/4" and color 2 requires the same and color 3 one 3 1/2" X 14" and 2 3 7/8" X 7 3/4". I figure I need 13 squares because I will do 2" sashing (finished) and a 3" border.
Anyone want to walk me through the steps of figuring my yardage?
Thanks
