16 FQ's would give you a 72" x 88" quilt without borders. How wide and how many borders does it call for?
It's 8 each of 4 different fabrics, 32 FQs. For a baby size it is 2 of each (8 FQ), throw is 2 of each (8 FQ), twin is 4 of each (16 FQ), queen is 8 of each (32 FQ). The borders are 10 1/2" wide cut on the lengthwise grain (parallel to the selvedge). It shows a scalloped border so you need it wide to do that. Don't know if I will scallop it or not for a man's quilt.
