The answer to that is different for each fabric. You have to look at the repeat on the fabric. On the one I showed, there was an 8" repeat, so I needed to make sure I could cut six 8" strips, so I needed a minimimun of 48" of fabric. If your repeat is bigger, you need more fabric. Likewise, if your repeat is smaller, you need less fabric. The size of your finished quilt is determined by how many blocks you make and how much fabric you use.
Clear as mud? :lol: If it's not clear, please go see Cutie's tutorials as she does an excellent job of explaining it.
Yes, my fabric came from JoAnn's. It is a perfect fabric for this style quilt! :thumbup:
