I've had a request for yardages for a larger quilt so here they are. If it's not large enough, let me know. This quilt is 72" square (6 feet square), but it has 9" cut/8" finished squares. This square size will be better proportioned for a larger quilt and it will save on fabric costs because you'll have fewer seams to sew and less seam allowance.

We also have one girl in the class who is using flannel with denm for her quilt. This was she doesn't have to use any batting or flannel in the between the two facing fabrics. If any of you have any old jeans that will work for this purpose now's the time to pull 'em out!
