Building on what Bakermom has worked out, you get 20 x 8.5" squares from a yard, you need 5 squares for a block so will get 4 blocks from a yard. You need 42 blocks (6 blks x 7 blks), 42 /4 = 10.5, by this calculation you will need 10.5 yards of fabric. This seemed a lot to me but then realised that all the fabric in those block centres don't add to the dimensions of the quilt so it sort of makes sense.
Wow Lynn thanks. I think I can do this now thanks to everyones help.10 yards does seem like alot but you are right the center block does nothing for the demensions of the blocks.I am gonna try it anyway just to see what I can come up with. Hopefully I can pull this off.Thanks again!
