I just started quilting again after a long break. Would you mind double checking that I am planning enough fabric please? I am unexpectedly going to be near a quilt shop tomorrow. It's too far to go back to if I don't buy enough. I am scrambling to make a shopping list.

These are my rough plans, dependent on what fabrics I find that I like.
Double/Full size quilts for all. Blanket style, estimating 80"x90". No backings included in the estimates as I will purchase them later.

-Dresden plate. 10"(just the plate, not the background) estimating 42 plates. 20 fabrics. 3.5yards combined.
-Sampler quilt, haven't picked the squares yet. 12" blocks, estimating 16-20blocks. No borders intended or just a minor one. Planning two colors and a neutral. 2.5yds each possibly 3yds, to be safe, for a total of 7.5-9yds
-Single Irish chain 6"blocks maybe. 3yds light, 1.5yards dark. I found this estimate on the web, seems really low doesn't it?
