If you don't have acccess to an EQ, you can draw it out on a piece of graph paper. Figure the size your will need for each piece. Arrange these on a diagram of a 1/4 yd piece to see if they fit. If it is really close, you will need to allow a little extra in case the fabric does not come off the bolt straight.
Or you could buy 1/2 yard, cut it into FQ's and you will have some to swap or use as a gift.
