I am planning on using the same fabric for the background in all of my blocks. I had no idea how much to buy. I emailed Carol Doak. They replied that they had never done all 50 blocks that way. They said most backgrounds can be made with a 5 inch strip of fabric. They recommended buying 7 yards. Said you would probably have leftovers. WOW sounds like a lot. I only bought 5 yards. I guess I need to go buy more before it is gone.
Thanks fo putting all of the pictures together. So much easier to look at
