I did the math according to the fab requirements posted on the second pg of the pattern...here is what I came up with.
Color 1 - shown as dk orange - you will get 6 blocks per row....needing 2 rows = about 14"
and Color 1 also needs 36 3.5 blocks - need to cut 4 rows -=16 inches. 14+16 =30, so allowing for cutting errors - 1 yd total for color 1.
Color 2 - black - 1/2 yard is needed (36 blocks needed - getting 10 blocks per row) - 4 rows x4 inches wide =16 inches.
Color 3 - lt orange - 1 yd needed (72 blocks) 10 blocks per row, need 8 rows cut...8x4=32.
You can use any color for 1 and 3, color 2 should be black.
