I was just looking at the pattern and can't help you with the yardage but what I can do is welcome you to the QB from SE Michigan! Hopefully some on will come up with an answer. From what I can see it looks like it is you are using 1" strips for the plaid and larger pieces possibly 2" strips for the white. I could be wrong because I did not print out the template. I would make a sample block and keep track of how many strips you use. Maybe someone with EQ8 could figure it out for you Again jump right in and share, ask questions, and have great fun. and welcome to the QB!
