On the other hand, I am doing a custom quilt with sashings. The pattern was in a popular magazine and calls for like 7 yards for this sashing. It took me a little white to figure out that they used border prints, but there is still no way possible that it could take that much fabric. I did my own calculations, and I bought 1 3/4 yards. I can't afford to buy 7 yards when it only needs less than 2 yards.
