What is an ISBN, how do I get one, and how much does it cost? ISBN is the International Standard Book Number, a 13-digit number that uniquely identifies books and book-like products published anywhere in the world. Pick up any book on your bookshelf and youâll find that it has an ISBN. My book Wicked Cool Shell Scripts has an assigned ISBN of 978-1-59327-012-7.
The total yardage needed for a queen size quilt varies with the pattern and fabric used. A standard queen size quilt that is 88 inches wide and 96 inches long takes about 8 yards of fabric for the front of the quilt and another 8 yards of fabric for the back of the quilt, depending on the pattern and fabric you choose.
For a straight set layout like this... ...you'll need a quilt 14 blocks wide by 15 blocks long. Add a 1/4 inch binding on all sides and the finished measurement is 84-1/2 by 90-1/2. Total blocks: 210...and it'll take a quilt 9 by 10 blocks. Add a binding and the final size is 89 by 99. Total blocks: 162. You may have noticed that the diagonal set without sashing comes the closest to the 'ideal' size with even drops on three sides.
