I'm so happy we have another new friend doing Dear Jane with us!
I think amounts of fabric needed varies depending on which method of piecing your going to do. I am going to paper piece as much as possible and I think there is more waste with that method.
I'm doing red & blue batiks with Kona white background so I've started with three yards each of a few different reds and same with blues and I think Klue said we will need about 15 yards for background, and I've purchased 5 yards so far. So you can buy as you go depending on fabric choices.
Hugs to you, Sonwest!
