Link to the post about the quilt, which I kept for myself: Wanta Fanta. It contains only three and 2× quarter bee blocks, the rest are my own, but I will still remember it fondly as my first-ever bee quilt :)

Costs are calculated via my Quilt Price Calculator: Factors are the size & pieces mentioned above and the presets for a twin quilt. It is an FPP pattern, but some pieces can be cut fairly off-cut-friendly. So I calculated with only a 30% off-cut. Also did I not calculate the backing with the actual gazillion pieces, because they would otherwise have been scraps. I used the fictual number 4 for the backing pieces.
