Chris, you are going to need more than 2.5 yards, even with only doing 7in blocks, I think the book says 6 yards. I bought 10 yards because I am doing 10in (finished) blocks and I'm hoping that will be enough.
I'm only telling you because I have two lengths of Kona black and they aren't the same colour so I have had to put one well out of the way in order not to muddle them up.
Thanks for the info on the yardage. I don't have the book yet and was in my LQS and I guess I just jumped the gun a bit by buying some KONA black. Hopefully when I go back they will have more that matches - if not this will go in the stash. I haven't completely committed to the black as a background, but I am leaning that way. I've seen beautiful picks w/other colors used for background. Decisions, decisions...
