I figure a yard of fabric - after washing - has about 35 x 40 square inches of usable fabric , which is 1400 square inches
35 x 42 = 1470
It looks like odd shapes that wouldn't cut very efficiently - and if you are using the paper piecing method - and want to fussy cut for design -

Thank you so much Bearisgray for all your hard work.
I have written to the company that distributes the pattern to tell me the yardage required. If they donīt then I will have to wait till the pattern gets here.
You know when you get the urge to get all your fabrics together and you canīt, well I am miffed, however patience Elle patience :D
