What yardage for a D9P
How many yards of fabrics for a twin size D9P? YBR says 6 yds for a twin, but I always have lots leftover. Would like to use 3 or 4 different fabrics - Center block the same fabric - corners the same fabric - not a scrappy. Any thoughts would be appreciated. :-)

i think it depends on what size block you are starting with- the yardage is going to be different if making 6" , 8", 10" or 12" blocks- and what size twin you are planning to make--drape? long-twin? (pillow tuck?)
for anyone to do the math for you they need to know the actual measurements of the quilt you want to make- the size blocks you plan to make- borders?

Thank you both - the real story is I have made table runners/tops using the D9P and my quilting friend loved the pattern and decided she wanted to make quilts for her grandchildren's twin beds. I don't find a pattern to use - I used scraps with a definite color pattern for my runners. I assumed someone on here would have made a twin D9P - I have seen some pretty queen ones here. I will get more info. Thanks!

here is the link that i had to a quick pieced d9p that uses a layer cake (10" squares). you can add a border to make it larger.

Decide size of block and then Calculate based on a regular nine patch then subtract 1/2"for finished size of the DP9 to know how many blocks you will need. The DP9 reduces the regular 9 patch by 1/2" This should give you instructions.
