That will work quantity wise but you will wind up with matching fabrics back to back on some of your blocks. I just helped a friend with one and she bought eight fabrics and it was still some trouble laying out to avoid the fabrics being back to back.

I've wondered about that myself. Post pics if you do it!! Take 5 is a similar pattern, but only uses 5 fabrics (duh)! I like it because you can arrange the blocks in a pattern or random. Plus I have the accuquilt die!! LOL!

I make TT with 1/3 yard cuts. I still use at least 12 or so different fabrics tho. I cut the 10.5 square first. I actually enjoy the "waste" fabric...or leftovers. I save them to make a YBR quilt. So, I really don't have any waste...and two quilts. Another thought for us scrappy quilters...I have a box set up and as I go through my scraps I cut the sizes needed for TT and YBR and put them in the box. Before too long, I have a scrappy quilt already to sew up.
