I have only made the tabletopper/wallhanging and have not yet worked this up for larger sizes. I used fabric from my stash and scraps. I did the math and I believe (if my math is correct) you can get the topper with 1/4 yd. (the green check), 1/3 yd. (red fabric) and 1/4 yd. of focus fabric (it is actually less than 1/4yd.). Hope that helps.

HI SwanSong. Will be waiting to see the lap robe. And yes, your "tute" was written great
I try to write down directions to teach people at my sewing group and that is a hard thing to do. You did great with all the actual marking.

ok ladies, I got something I'd like to try with the 9 blocks and all, I found a pillowcase, that has small pictures of Elvis, it was more like a collage of pictures. I have cut them out in different sizes , now heres my problem. for these pieces (pictures) would it be best to sew them onto a block, then do my 9 P? as you know pillow cases are thin, as this is. I think it would be neat as a quilt, or lap quilt.
so advice appreciated before I get started.
Try backing the (picture-fabric) with a light weight or white fabric. This will give it a little more weight and strength when sewing it. If the fabrics won't stay together maybe some light weight iron on stablizer.
