We have had yardage estimated for all the patchwork patterns here. Should
you wish to know how much material to buy for some other patterns, the method
is this: Take one block, and make a tracing of each part the number of times it
appears in that block. Estimate the area covered; for instance, there are 6
blue triangles of one size and 4 blue squares in a block with white and a
print. The six blue triangles take a space say 4 by 12 and the squares 4 by 16.
This will total 4 by 28. There are 18 blocks in the quilt - 4 inches will cut 9
times out of 36-inch width-two times 28 is 56 inches so we will allow at least
60 inches or 1 2/3 yards of blue. They will not always figure out to perfect
advantage, using every inch, so be are often difficult to match later.
