Wouldnt the same quilt look GORGEOUS done in browns and whites and if the brown fabric looked like wood? I so want to make one in brown.

Too funny Patti. I never thought about purple being royalty. Hey I LEARNED SOMETHING. LOL.

Maybe someone can figure how much fabric is needed to make this..

Here is my measurements

I used 132- 5"x5" blocks for one color
I used 128- 5"x5" blocks for color #2
I used 28- 5"x5" blocks for the Cross
For the border, I cut 8 strips 6 inches wide out of the same fabric as the Cross was done in and sewed 2 together for each side of the quilt.
