If you look at her site you will find that there are quite a few corrections for the pattern you have selected. Be sure to check them out:

In one of the corrections, she tells you to cut 42" strips, so these definitely aren't FQs. I think they are full yard pieces, though that seems like a lot of fabric, even for paper piecing. However I just added up the fabric requirements for another quilt (Glacier Pines) and it comes up to almost 20 yards, not counting backing. Ouch, that will be expensive! No wonder I haven't started mine yet. (But they do make gorgeous quilts, and her method of paper piecing is really good.)
