how much yardage of each fabric I need for this quilt. All it says is you need 10 Lights and 10 darks to make a 68 x 78" quilt.
Quilt is PP and I got the pattern at Hancocks of Paducah.
If only they would have said in their info about it whether it was Fat Q´s or Half yards I could have ordered the darned material.
Here is the link called Japanese Fans....
I would be very grateful if you could help Thanks so much

Wow Elle, that one is gonna be a real beauty! Looks hard to me, so you'll probably just breeze through it. I can't figure out the required yardage because I can't tell the size of the blocks...maybe someone on here can though. It appears that you by using 20 different fabrics though that you wouldn't need that much of each one. I'm guessing that a FQ of each would be enough :?:
I can't wait to see this one making progress...I'll be watching!

That's really not good on their part - no putting the size. IMHO...
I would email them and ask them for more info regarding the fabric. Like you said, if you knew, you would have ordered everything and been on your way sooner... and possibly saved yourself some shipping charges... I would maybe stress that, too...

I thought Fat Q´s at first, but I am not sure. I am going to email them, it is rather nice and will be a bit of a challenge I am sure.

I always figure a top or backing at about five yards (maybe more, maybe less) - - if I need more, a border isn't a problem to match up.
So, if we are at fat quarters, that would be two and a half yards of light and 2.5 yards of dark ... = five yards, correct?
Lucky you! You figured it out!
The quilt measurements you sited are 68"x78" = 5'8"x 6'6" which equals
4.42 square feet ... hmmm ... I may be doing the math incorrectly ...
let's try this: 5304 square inches ... in 20 fat quarters, you have 7920 square inches ... that should do it!
You were right fat quarters.
did I do that all correctly?
