I don't understand how much fabric is needed of each color. Can someone help?
Back of the envelope:
assuming 72 12" blocks (which would be 288 6" blocks), king size of 98 x110, no border.

Are you sitting down?

8 yards of each color.

But you can definitely use multiple fabrics in each color. Much more interesting that way (I think).

(btw, EQ came up with 7.25yds)
