how many yards of fabric will fit in a 12x16x12 (small) moving box?

I just measured and folded enoigh fabric to fill this box " comfortably." I can close the flaps easily - and I think I could probably get another layer an inch thic in this box.

I have all "quilting cotton" , 44-455 inches wide, about hslf is F abric Traditions and half if Vip blenders.

Anyone willing to guess?

Is this like the how many jelly beans in a jar puzzle? I would say it depends on the fabric. Some are thicker than others.

109.25 yards

One hundred nine yards !! And I could maybe have squished another five yards or so into the box!

This fabric is what I consider "average weight" for " quilting cottons"
