I'm having some one make a quilt for me, and I need to know how much fabric to buy since I'm enlarging it to a queen.

The original quilt is 56.5"x56.5" and it is going to be enlarged to 86"x93"

This is what the directions say I need...

Fabric Requirements
10-12 Assorted prints ... 1/4 yd. of each
Blue star print ... 1 3/8 yds.
Black solid ... 1 1/2 yds.
Cream solid ... 1/2 yds.
Backing ... 3 1/2 yds.
Batting ... Twin size
Other Materials
Sewing thread
Quilting thread (hand-quilting)
Monofilament thread (machine-quilting)

This is how to cut it

Cutting Instructions
Assorted prints
... 14 strips 2 1/2" x WOF (width of fabric) cut in pairs of 2
... 7 strips 2 1/2" x 21", 1 to match each WOF pair
... 14 strips 2 1/2" x 21", cut in pairs of 2
... 7 strips 2 1/2" x WOF, 1 to match each 21" pair
Blue star print
...*1 square 44" x 44", cut in half diagonally to make half-square triangles (1 triangle needed)


... 4 squares 7" x 7", cut in half diagonally to make half-square triangles (cut from remaining 44" triangle)
Black solid
... 4 strips 2 1/2" x 58", pieced from 6 WOF strips
... 1 Template A
... 1 Template B
... 1 Template C
... 1 Template D
Cream solid

* cut first

and here is a photo of said quilt

Could some one tell me how much I will need to make this to the queen size? (86"x96")
