I'm math challenged, so I'd DOUBLE CHECK this, but I think you'd need about 221 circles, so that's 18 FQs. I think. :Dsallgoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06257935141857664852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675848709764880999.post-79352085912655769942013-01-13T13:45:49.702-08:002013-01-13T13:45:49.702-08:00I love this and want to make it into a twin size. ...I love this and want to make it into a twin size. I am new at quilting but have sewn for years. Can you let me know how much fabric I would need for a twin about 86"x 66" for the circles. Or yet, better question, how many circles do you get from a fat quarter? :)<br />Thank you for a easy to follow tutorial and a beautiful design.
