Love your quilt! I want to make one using blue and orange for my nephew who will be going to Carol College in Wisconsin. I may use black as you talked about in your post. Do you think I need a fourth color or a blue/orange print for one of the squares? If there are any other specific directions I'd appreciate it.

Good question. It took a lot of white, but I used a duvet, so I can't say exactly how much. Between 4-6 yards, I'd guess.

With the black, (I'm working on now), I'll have a better idea as it is regular fabric. and I can give a better estimate as I cut 1.5" strips. i can let you know that when I post the black one.

I realized I didn't answer your question about the cost of fabric. I can get solid color cottons at about 20-22 zl/meter. That is approximately $7/meter. A meter is 39".

I checked the information into EQ 6 and found out that the white takes 5.5 yards of 40" fabric.

I have so much floral fabrics and this is just absolutely how I will use some of that fabric. Sometimes it's GREAT to make quilts that don't take a lot of concentration!

Your quilt is just so inspiring! Thanks for posting your picture, EQ layout and instructions!
