Is there a lot of waste when you make one of these?
There is a lot of waste, but I'm really picky about not using blocks that I consider to be ugly. The book calls for 10 yards to make a queen size I think. I did order 10 yards of this but used only 8 or so. And I do have some left over blocks that I felt just didn't fit in. Most of those had lots of leaves and were almost totally green so they just didn't work with what I had in mind for this one. I was looking for soft and feminine. You can see some of the green ones in the picture of the blocks.
