if you do a 60 x 70 lap quilt you will need 4,200. you can calculate from there on how big (or small) you want your quilt. one psq i am making requires 10,000 pieces at 100" x 100" and the other will take about 9,000 squares. i have found strip piecing to be a godsend. so i will have pieced squares and strip piecing in both quilts.
