Question: how much fabric do i need for a quilt?
Answer: So, for example: For a 36in x 50in quilt top, you'll need 1½yds (54in) of 42in wide fabric, leaving you with a few extra inches around all edges. If your quilt is larger than 42in, for example 59in x 80in, you'll need 3½yds of 42in wide fabric.
