The lining is quite important. It must be soft, without starch filling, and should match the texture of the pieced top as nearly as possible, as a soft sateen lining with sateen top. For wide quilts allow 3 widths of 36-inch material, having the center one full width and tearing equal parts off of the outer two, or using two full widths with a narrow center strip.

We have had yardage estimated for all the patchwork patterns here. Should you wish to know how much material to buy for some other patterns, the method is this: Take one block, and make a tracing of each part the number of times it appears in that block.
