Re: Twin Sisters Yardage?
Are you using fabric from your stash or are you planning on buying fat quarters?
If using fq's the instructions say select 20 fq's with values from light medium to dark medium. For the darks it says 20 fq's from dark medium to dark . That comes out to 40 fq's. That may seem like a lot, but it also makes the border and cornerstones. Mix scales and prints . Page 103 will tell you more how to select colors.
Hope this helps. A good way to get the groups attention is to post in the sew in thread that you have a question in this thread.
I'll bring it to the attention of a couple of other gals who have made this quilt..
