This is based on the common height of 44" for the fabric. A twin quilt is 68 x 88 inches. You need to make a 7 column by 9 row quilt. For this size, you need approximately 5 1/4 yards of fleece. A full quilt is 81 x 88 inches. You need to make a 8 column by 9 row blanket. For this size, you need approximately 6 yards of fleece. A queen quilt is 88 x 96. You need to make a 9 column by 10 row blanket. For this size, you need approximately 7 1/2 yards of fleece. A king quilt is 107 x 108. You need to make a 11 column by 11 row blanket. For this size, you need approximately 10 1/8 yards of fabric. [1] X Research source [2] X Research source
For example, if you are using 5 different colors, divide the overall number of yards of fabric you need by 5. If you are making the king quilt, you will need to have a little over 2 yards of each color. [3] X Research source [4] X Research source
The amount of each design of fleece you need will depend on how many different designs you bought. It helps is you buy an amount of designs that can be evenly divided into the number of squares you need. For example, if you bought 3 different designs for the full quilt, you will need 24 squares of each design. If you bought 6, you will need 12 of each design. However, if you bought 5 kinds of fleece, you would need 14 of 3 of the designs and 15 of the last 2. [7] X Research source [8] X Research source
The corners of each square will be cut off during this process as the slits from each side meet each other in the same spot. [9] X Research source
Decide what is best for you. It is a personal choice and will depend on the number of different designs you have.
Make sure you don’t pull too much fabric through when you are knotting the fringe. It will cause your fleece to cinch and mess up the flow of the whole quilt. [12] X Research source
This project is easier for beginners that more elaborated versions of quilts. You will be simply sewing the squares of fabric together.
Do this for every square in your row. Then, sew together all of the remaining squares into rows. [16] X Research source
If you left more of a seam allowance between your squares, you can make them into fringe. Use scissors to cut the edges evenly. This will leave lines of fringe along the outside of each square. [17] X Research source
