I don't have my book right here to look in, but the yardage is listed in a side column in the first pages of the book. It says that a half yard of 8 fabrics would be right for making the 6" blocks.
I figured that to enlarge the blocks from 6" to 12" is actually 4 X the square inches. (4 six inch squares fit into a 12 inch square). I bought 2 yard cuts of 8 fabrics, then added a couple more choices.
That's my best guess.

You are welcome. I am so happy to have friends to go through the book with.
I am going to "Road to California" Quilt Festival next week (it runs January 20-23). Penny Haren is teaching classes there. I didn't sign up for any, but am thinking about peeking in her door and saying "hi". Anyone else going to be there?

This is definitely not boring!!! I hope to learn so much from this group. I haven't appliqued before........so will need the week to probablly rip out and start over several times. LOL

SIGH... I am having some problems and need some advise please.
1. When I use my white, washable glue stick I am having trouble getting it out of my fabric. I soaked it in warm water and ended up using a scrubbie sponge and tide to get out the extra residue. Any suggestions?
2. I cannot get my "set on point foundation block to come out even. I have tried it several times, cutting in stacks and single thicknesses of fabric. I have even drawn 1/4 in sewing lines and SCREAM. STOMP STOMP STOMP.... WHINE WHINE white wine white wine white wine. Its still off by enough to look really bad.
Thank you,
Eliz
