Is there a quilt yardage calculator?
 
Is there one or a graph? If not, is there any easy way to figure out yardage?

Quilters Calculator helps with this. Joann's sells them.

There is an older book titled "Taking The Math Out of Quilting" that is useful.

I have a book called "The Quilter's Pocket Reference" it was recommend by my local quilt shop. The book sells for less than $10 and it provides calculations for yardage, and a bunch of other great calculations.

The book is listed on Amazon for 9.95 and title is Taking the Math Out of Making Patchwork Quilts".

I have to agree, just use a coupon, they are indispensable and worth the extra dollar

I had to laugh at myself when I first read your question and some of the comments; I'm thinking I don't need one of those. I just finished another quilt that I've got enough fabric left over to make another quilt. Every time a make a quilt without using a complete pattern I buy way more fabric than I need LOL!

If you have a smart phone or iPod Robert Kaufmann & Quilters Paradise has a Free app with 8 types of calculators in it. You can take it with you shopping!

I second this recommendation. It's a very handy tool.
