You will need six repeats of the print pattern. Minimum of 12" repeat is okay but will only yield approx 57 blocks. So a repeat of 24" will give double that, but you obviously you are buying double the fabric length.
You really do need to get one of the One Block Wonder books by Maxine Rosenthal if you have never done one - you will then have all the info you need and an excellent pictorial instruction on how to select fabric, cut and construct.
See the special section on these, and Stack & Whack, Kaleidoscope quilts here (scroll half way down for the heading)
