It is just a bunch of squares and rectangles - I just looked at the picture and then figured out the measurement. You use 20 fat quarters (thus the name Turning 20). So depending on the size of the quilt you want - either use 20 fat quarters or you could use 10 1/2 yards.

This doesn't give you a pattern, but I do think you can figure it out. Using a fat quarter which is 18 x 22 (usually) I cut it down to 17 x 17 because I wanted a smaller quilt. Then I cut off off one side so it was 6 & 1/2 x 17, leaving the other piece to be 10 & 1/2 x 17, I cut off another strip of 6 & 1/2 inches by 10 & 1/2, so it leaves a block of 10 1/2 x 10 1/2. Then you play with them and put them together so each block it different. A friend and I made a Halloween quilt for a friend because it was her birthday. We also used a sashing between the blocks because it showed off the fabrics better. You do need to square off each block, because the long strip will be shorter than the other side. They go together fast, you can use all kinds of fabric and if you want to use them long strip in half you can do that too, and it would cause the strip to be the same length as the other side.

It is an easy quilt because you aren't matching seams.
