Hi Cheryl, hope you do join us. It's really hard to predict how much fabric would be needed. It all depends on what you want to do. Do you want a really scrappy quilt? Do you want the background the same on all the blocks. Each particular block will not take much fabric, but if you want the background of all 12 blocks to be the same, of course, you would more of that one fabric. Some blocks may only need 2 colors, other blocks may take 3 or 4. So, if you have made any quilts at all in the past, you may have some pieces that may be suitable for some of the blocks. See why it's so hard to tell what you may need overall?
If nothing else, pick up a few fat quarts that you like and give it a try.[/quote]
Thanks for responding. Yes, I do understand the difficulty. I like the fat quarter idea. I'll go that route. Thanks!
