From Four stripes knot block to a quilt

I was kindly asked by one of my customers to give a yardage needed for a quilt top.
She had bought a pattern Four stripes knot and decided to sew a quilt 60x70 inches (6 blocks across and 7 blocks long for a total of 42 10" blocks).













I always do my best to satisfy my customers, so made the layout for her.

Here is the yardage.

I have added another variant when violet squares from first picture are the same color as the beige trapeziums. In this case simply sum the yardage given for different colors 5/8 and 1+1/4.

So if you are interested in making such quilt get the pattern from CRAFTSY or ETSY, buy necessary yardage and go sewing.
