All yardage was figured using this layout. The diagram shows the fabric folded in half. The selvage edge is at the top and the fold is at the bottom. First I figured the long vertical borders. Both are cut at once as the fabric is folded. One length of fabric is needed for those. Next I figured the 2 short borders. These also need a length of fabric. Then blocks are cut. Each cut will produce 2 blocks. Cut as many as necessary for the size quilt you are making.

4-Block Wall Hanging

A 4-block wall hanging makes a great addition to your Christmas decorations. It doesn't have to be used on a wall. Throw it over the back of a sofa or use it as a table topper.

4-16" blocks surrounded by 10" borders will produce a wall hanging that is approximately 52" square. If you can find fabric that will give you a full 41" in width that you can use after you wash it and cut off the selvage, you can make this quilt with just 2 3/4 yards otherwise you will need at least 3 1/2 yards. Personally, I would purchase 4 yards.

16-Block Quilt

20-Block Quilt

20 blocks - set 5 x 4 is ideal for a king size quilt. Add 16" borders and you are all set. You should be able to get the quilt out of 11 yards but please consider buying at least 1 extra yard - "just in case." This quilt will be approximately 112" x 92". Add pillow shams and you will be all set.

Yes, you can make a 5x5 quilt with a total of 25 blocks. It will finish at a generous 112" x 112". This will provide a nice pillow tuck. Better get about 15 yards for this whopper.
