Hi Everyone,
I have been asked to make a quilt for someone and I want to give them some pricing information. But before I do that I have to figure out what the materials will cost.
Can someone please help me figure out the yardage I will need to make a Dutchman's Puzzle quilt in Queen size?
I figured I would do 7x8 with 3" border on the sides, 3" flying geese border on the top and bottom followed by a 3" border like on the sides.
With that I will need 56 blocks.
Do you know how much fabric I will need to make those blocks?
I thought between 2.5-3 yds of each color would do?
Is that right?

Is this what you had in mind?
I made all of the components different colored, as I wasn't sure how many different fabrics you would be using.

I'm glad Alma has answered your question.. because I have wanted to tell you for the longest time that I think that crazy little bird, or whatever it is, that jumps up in your Avatar is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.. I can sit and watch that guy for as long as I spend on the forum.. which is w-a-y t-o-o long.. I'm not sure what fascinates me, perhaps the feathers the wiggle on the top of his head.. . but I LOVE him.. I want to take him home.. I want him to be on my alarm clock!! Can't you see him saying.. "Good Morning, Sunshine" just before he falls back down to his trampoline... He's histerical!!
