Question: about enlarging, do any of you know how much fabric this will take? I bought 8yards and dont know if that is enough. for 10inch squares.
What size quilt are you making, Candace, and what layout?

I am doing my quilt with 10" blocks set on point. It will end up being approximately 92 x 106 - or if I use sashing between the blocks it will end up about 96 x 111. EQ tells me that for the blocks, setting triangles and the large border which I think I will make 8", I will need 7-1/2 yards of fabric. Lesley had suggested early on 9 yards for good measure. I am not sure how accurate EQ is for yardage, so I bought the 9 yards that Lesley suggested and it appears I will have more than enough.
