good point about the binding. I figured on a minimum of 92" x2 = 184" divide by 36" = 5.11 yards.
I recently learned (probably here) that you sew the two length together in a tube (both sides, fabric-sides-together). Then you cut the tube open down one center. This will split the backing and you will have a nice even amount on the side of the center piece.
