Check Missouri Quilt Co. and also on Youtube, or maybe ebay. I have several but my patterns are not in order and I would have to go thru several baskets. If you do not find it, send me a private message. I am busy until Tuesday. Am doing the Merry Mayham Mystery quilt on Monday.

Are you talking about Tumbling Blocks? I guess it's going to be based on how big your blocks are, is there a border, how many borders, how big are the borders.... You can do whatever as long as you can do the math.

There is an old book out there by Sara Nephew on tumbling blocks without "Y" seams it is excellent I took her class on it in the 1980's so I am sure the book is out of print but you know you might be able to find it on ebay I do have it somewhere but I think you could find out by doing a search on quilting books by Sara Nephew iy really has an excellent method for tumbling blocks.

I did one (by hand) via English Paper Piecing. I just checked my templates and the individual pieces were 2.5" finished. If I remember correctly, I just cut 3" strips and then cut the individual pieces using the 60 degree line on my ruler. A bit of straightening along the way but it was pretty easy cutting all in all.
When I'm calculating yardage for something like this, I simply figure out total square inches for the quilt and go from there. If you're only using 3 fabrics (as I did in the one I made) it would be fairly easy to figure out - get your total square inches for the quilt and divide by 3 for the total number of yards/fabric that you need. I always buy a bit extra for safety's sake AFTER I have the math-whiz DH check my numbers!
