It can be hard to decide how much material you will need depending on the size quilt you want. For example I used a 1" seam on this which I then lost 4" per block. It was the second one I had done, my first being for a baby. So I only use 1/2" seam allowances now. <br />For this exact quilt I bought 3M of each color of flannel and 3M of a very cheap flannel for the batting. <br />Each quilt will be different depending on the size you want it to be and the size squares you are using. I know when using a 8" square that I get approx 5 per strip from a 8" strip of fabric. <br />The easiest way to figure it out is to do a little drawing of your quilt. Use pencil crayons to color in your pattern with your choice of block colors. <br />Count for example how many of color 1, color 2, and color 3 you have take each of those numbers and multiply it by 2 (because you will need fabric for the front and back) you then take that number ex. 44 and X by 8 (for number of inches per block) that will give you 352" or 29.3 ft. The average Ft to every meter of fabric is 11.7 so I will need 3 meters minimum. <br />The same goes for your batting. If you have 63 squares on your quilt you will multiply 63 x 6 giving you 31.5 ft. So you would need to buy approx 3 ft. <br /><br />Does this make sense?<br /><br />Your average width of fabric on a bolt of fabric is 44" keep that in mind when purchasing it for your quilt. <br /><br />If anyone needs help figuring out the fabric needed please ask.Aleishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884449971509095098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031749652985068324.post-4251009305505679112010-09-14T05:07:40.397-06:002010-09-14T05:07:40.397-06:00LOVE IT! but how much approx how much material wo...LOVE IT! but how much approx how much material would you need to make a quilt that size?Heather*https://www.blogger.com/profile/00333414272259146384noreply@blogger.com
