From that I would cut 4 pieces along the length, each piece 6.5" wide. This would make each border a single piece of fabric cut along the lengthwise grain, which is the most stable grain and therefore desirable for borders. Leftovers would consist of a strip of fabric about 6" wide and 2.5 yards long.

I would sew the 90" (longest) borders first. That would make the shorter 80" sides 92.5" long (80+6.25+6.25). With 2.6 yards of fabric, each border would be a single lengthwise piece.
