If you go by the charm pack size (5 inch squares) you should get 8 squares out of one width of the fabric, so you would need 6 widths to cut 48 squares. If you are using 4 different fabrics, a yard of each should suffice. But that does not include binding fabric.
I just saw a cute twist on D4P at
http://round22.blogspot.ca/2012/07/d...ith-twist.html and at the end she gave the measurements needed for the original blocks which I found very helpful.
Hope you post a pic of project.
Thanks, GingerK. That's exactly the information I was looking for! I'll post a pic when it's done, but first I have to get the fabric! I also like the pattern you included I your post, but for this one, I'm going to stick with the plain D4P. I think it will suit my friend better.
I can always count on someone on this wonderful Board to come up with the answer to my question! Thanks everyone!
