Strom at sea quilt

[Louise]

I bought the creative grid storm at sea templet it says to use three colors and each block will be sixtteen inches but it does not say how much of each fabric to buy . Have any of you made this quilt and if so an advice of how much fabric to buy?

How big of a quilt are you going to make? How many blocks total? Don't forget the sashing/border to finish along the top and side.

With my templates, I know how many pieces I can get out of each strip I cut. I figure out how many of each piece I need. Then how many strips of that width, add that together for each color. (I round the pieces/strip up to a whole strip for ease of the math.)

I always add an extra bit in case there is an error or shrinkage when I prewash.

The firs step is to decide how big you want your quilt though.
