Thanks so much and I love seeing all your beautiful work.
For the center 6.5" squares you will need a little over 5 yards of fabric.

For the 2.5" corner snowballs, you will need almost 3 yards if you are snowballing all four corners. (168 x 4 = 672 corner squares)

Seems like a lot doesn't it? But true!
