All twelve quilts in this book use twelve fat quarters each. It’s such a fun idea, and is such a terrific book to have on hand for using fat quarters from your favorite collections or from your scrap bin. Each quilt takes 4 1/2" yards for the backing & binding If you would like us to pick out the 12 fat quarters that you need to make each quilt we can do that. We will also be happy to pick out the fabrics for any other color choices you may want, like doing these in blues & creams, greys & creams, and scrappy civil war or modern fabrics. We also can pick out the borders and binding as well. If you buy the 12 fat quarters you will get 2 of them free. if you order the backing fabric as the same time as your fat quarters we will give you the 20% discounted price in the dropdown.
