Just checked and I only got 2 1/2 yards which seems to be more than enough. I chose the large green ( blue) flower. I think the flower is green not sure maybe it's the lighting in our house but even DH can't decide if it's green either. I got the book and I want to try the one " not your grandmothers flower garden". Going to get it started this weekend have to finish my fathers lap quilt first.
