Hi,
Quilt shops in my area, Tulsa, Oklahoma, usually recommend 2-3 yards. That's what I buy. Most of the quilts I do I want them to fit a min. twin bed, even if it is a throw because I have only men in my family 6ft +. I do alot of mystery quilts and they seem to always call for 1 1/2 to 2+ yards so like they say, if you think it might show up on your bed best get 3 yards a throw 1 1/2 to 2 yards. I tend to over buy so i can make a scrapy quilt later and allow for errors.
Happy Quilting,
Sonja

Sounds like you must have quite a stash now

It depends on the fabric for me. I do a lot of different kinds of quilts, and many of them include a landscape type background. I get really crabby when I find the perfect fabric to make distant craggy mountains and run out because it's almost impossible to get it again, for instance. So I buy 2 or even 3 yards for some fabrics but only 1/2 yard for others. Recently, I bought a bunch of 10 inch squares of a variety of silks for an applique quilt I'm planning. I will say that I was extremely happy when I retired last January to come into my studio and organize my fabrics into a well-stocked stash. After I organized everything, I spent another bit on filling in the blanks, which is what I do now--fill in blanks. So I have made several quilts lately that I only had to buy more threads (that's another stash issue). I bought bolts of black and steam-a-seam 2.
