depends on the pattern and sashing and if you want to include the border. quiltville.com has a chart. whatever the chart says by an extra 6-12 inches in yardage for each piece. You need to allow for shrinkage. I always pre-wash.

Here's my answer. :D

Okay, seriously....

We can reverse engineer this. For my quilt (the one the OP is referring to) I used 3 jelly rolls; 1 neutral and 2 colored. I ended up with fifty-six 13" blocks, and when I finally get it assembled, my quilt will be 91"x104", which is a little small for a king but might work for you.

A jelly roll (40 strips x 2.5" wide) is a total of approximately 2.75 yards. So if you want to make the same kind of quilt as mine, with the same color placement, you will want 2.75 yards of light fabric and 5.5 yards of colored fabric. You can always round up for "just in case" and/or if you want an additional row of blocks.

Hope that helps!

A similiar pattern in jelly roll dreams by ?...... It is more colourful and has spinners in centre of blocks . If you can find the book it would give you idea of quantity required in number of jelly rolls.

Now that's the best way to do it:thumbup:

thanks peckish. that helped a ton. love the pic too. now to get the light colored fabric.

There is no exact size for a king sized quilt, but roughly it's 108 x 108 for a big king. That' 3 yards long amd 3 yards wide, finished, but that won't do you any good since we don't know your pattern,+

Been tempted more than once

All depend on the pattern your will do. Each pattern has different pieces to it.

I would really need to know what pattern I would use before I could figure out how much fabric I would need.
