So you need a little more than 3 yards for 25 blocks. How much more? I'd go with 2.5 yards just to be safe.

Ok here's a REALLY dumb question.... What is EQ? Because that is impressive and I'm making my Christmas list!!!

EQ is Electric Quilt 7, an awesome program for designing your quilts. Their website is http://www.electricquilt.com - you can check them out there. It's very useful for figuring out yardage if you are changing a pattern or if you are designing your own.

I highly recommend it!

I agree that the knowledge here on this board is awesome! I have learned so much reading here. I always feel that the answers are based in reality, not in theory. Thank you to everyone who replies!
