Ggal970I managed to view Bonnie on Quiltcam yesterday and she answered your question regarding yardage. She said that if you use approximately 9 yards for the backing of a quilt you will need about 12 to 14 yards for the front allowing for all those seam allowances. She also said that she used about 60 (yes I nearly fell off the chair) different greens and the fabrics she showed on her blog was only a small selection of the colours she used. Another viewer asked about changing the colour scheme and Bonnie said that if you have 3 colourways that place nice together it would work, I think the quilter was thinking of blue, yellows and burgundy, then the grey as the constant. I was wondering if you could just use a selection of creams for the background as I have plenty of them.
I am still sitting on the fence and wondering if I REALLY need to start another quilt, I have more than enough to keep me occupied for the next 12 months (or longer)
