You put in your size blocks and width of fabric and it'll give you what you need for your yardage. Based on 8 across and 9 down you'll need 3.1 yards for your front.
That is so cool!!! figuring yardage is something I need help with too. This is going in my favorites. But I still allow a little more for shrinkage and miscuts. I sent it to my sisters too.
