You have to think about the size of the quilt itself. A fifty by fifty quilt, that's two yards at least by two yards, maybe a yard and a half, and then the back will take another three or four yards. Depends on the pattern itself.
When I think about a quilt, I think about the size of the quilt first. In my mind's eye, I figure how many yards of fabric goes on a bed. It's usually more than I realize. Sometimes, I'm surprised. But not often.
