    Have you ever determined how much fabric by weight you need to make a quilt? I make scrappy quilts, so yardage requirements is of no value. Do you know how much fabric by weight I would need to make diffrent sizes of quilts?

    I weighed 12-13 yds of quilt shop quality fabric and it weighed between 4 & 5 lbs.

    This amount of fabric is what I use for a queen bargello.
