What do you think?
i just love that quilt.
i would guess she had about 12 yards of the mint green. this was used for the background in all the blocks,triangles, and corners plus as square sashing and maybe even a solid triangle here and there.
then the sashing is purple and she used the purple to make the scallops so i would think that about 5 yards of purple.
then she had maybe 10 yards of various floral cottage fabric for all the piece work.
