Sorry, beginner here. How much fabric does it take to do this? 36 fat eights, plus whatever other fabric is needed to make up the rest of the 36 blocks?
sounds like a lot of fabric is needed, has anyone done the math?

It's approx 4 1/2 yards of fabric to get the 36 fat eighths...you will be getting that 11x18 piece to work with to make a 12 1/2 inch block. So not too much more for the block. The great thing is that you would be using just as much fabric if you made the quilt all yourself..this way you get a block from all over! =) yay!

As the ladies previously said it really is not much more than what you would be using if you made the quilt yourself. Only this way you will get blocks from all over and have the opportunity to have fabrics included in your quilt that you may not otherwise have access to.
Hope you will decide to join us :-)

Quick on the replies here!!!
As much as I'd like to play, 9 yards is too much right now. It's $20 - $25 per metre here for the nice stuff *ouch* and it could take up to a month to have it shipped from the states.
Have fun ladies and post lots of pics.
