Strip Twist Quilt
#42
Cindy, I don't know exactly how many colors I used. I know I didn't have as many lights as darks but I figured the darks were more important anyway.
According to my calculations (and Math is definitely not my strong suit!), one fat quarter should yield 8 2.5" strips. You need 2 light and 2 dark for each strip set, and each strip set will yield 4 block quarters or one block. So for a 12 block quilt you would need a minimum of 3 dark and 3 light fat quarters but I think the more variety the better.
