Relay for Life Charity Quilt: question about yardage

Post by LynnS »

Hi everyone,
My club is going to participate in Relay for Life, which benefits the American Cancer Society. I want to make a quilt that we can raffle. I'm trying to get an estimate of the cost of fabric. I know I want to do the Tossed 9 Patch Pattern. The problem is that I want to order the pattern and the fabric together. My lqs doesn't have the pattern. I'm going to buy sale yardage from QIAD. I want to do a lap quilt size.

I know I'll need 13 FQ's. How much yardage do I need for borders, backing, and binding? Are there two borders? Thanks!!

Thanks! Is the Lattice part the same as the FQs I'll need? I was going to get a sale FQ bundle.

Lattice is used in-between the squares. It's just another way of putting it together. It's up to you. The one I made, I didn't use the lattice. Just joined the squares together. Let me know if you need anything else.
