I'm a scrappy person - so I buy fat quarters or half yds mostly. That won't help you. If you want to make queen quilts - buy enough yardage for your borders. They generally top out at 108" or three yards. You'd better like it! And that's just for the outside. I would imagine that a couple yards here and a couple yards there will work - but I don't know your style so it's hard to figure. Three fabric quilts? 18 fabric quilts? 100 fabric quilts - like me? That makes a big difference. Check out the remnant bins at your fabric stores. They are my guts and glory.
