My understanding of the problem is that 100 of these patches are used to create the quilt, 10 rows of 10 patches per row.
Since the area of the quilt is 1.44 m sq, the quilt must have dimensions of 1.2 m by 1.2 m.
Since each row contains 10 patches and each row is 1.2 m long, each patch must have a width of 0.12 m or 12 cm.
By looking at the patch shown, the each black segment must be twice as wide as a yellow segment, so each yellow segment must be 3 by 3 cm, each black segment must be 3 by 6 cm and each white segment must be 6 by 6 cm.
To find how much of each color is needed, notice that the area of each patch is divided into four 3 x 3 yellow areas (= 36 cm sq), four 3 x 6 black areas ( = 72 cm sq) and one 6 x 6 white area ( = 36 cm sq). This means that 1/4 of each patch is yellow, 1/4 of each patch is white, and 1/2 of each patch is black.
Thus, 1/4 of the total quilt is yellow (1/4 of 1.44 m sq is 0.36 m sq) as is also the white area (another 0.36 m sq) but the black area is twice as much (o.72 m sq).
