I usually over buy on fabric. I've got 3 baby quilts to make before June 1st. Since I'm doing 3 at the same time I've decided on pink and green log cabin blocks. I don't like to use 2 and 1/2 in. strips. I've made a queen size from 1 and 1/2 in. or 1 and 3/4 in strips. I liked the look of it.

Are there any standard guidelines on yardage for all quilt sizes? I don't want to run the risk of not getting enough since I'm buying for 3 but I don't want to over buy this time.

I don't know if there are any standard guidlines. I just do the math.

me too

Try taking the size of the quilt to see what the final yardage would be and go from there. I do baby quilts in different sizes, so its hard. The last one I made was big enough so that it was able to be used on a toddler bed later.

I do the math as well. And it can be time consuming depending on the block involvement. When I figure out hoe many peies I can get fromone strip, I use 40" as my number, rather than 44-45. That way I always have a little bit left over. For the binding on the crib size 40x60, I just figure 1/2 yard for that

It is hard to find a yardage chart, you pretty much need to do the math. You can try searching online for a log cabin pattern using those same size strips. Most patterns have yardage listed.

Here's something that you might be able to use, it's for a spilt rail fence quilt that measures approximately 30 X 30 so you have to add more yardage to make a larger quilt. Good hint is to always buy at least 1/4 yard more than it says you need so you don't run out if you make a mistake somewhere and ruin some of the fabric. It also gives you something for your "stash" when you want to make a scrappy quilt.

The blocks are cut 5 1/2 (5 inches finished) with 4 rows of fabric in each block. Sample done in blues and yellows in Alex Anderson's "Kids Start Quilting" book.

Blue fabric for blocks - 1/4 yard of 4 different blue fabrics
Yellow fabric for blocks - 1/4 yard of 4 different yellow fabrics
Inner border - 1/4 yard
Outer border - 1/2 yard
Backing - 1 1/4 yards
Batting - 40 X 40

I would think a crib size quilt would use double the amount of fabric. Hope this is helpful. May in Jersey
