i figured that if you could get 3 14.5 out of the width of fabric (i know it is cutting it close) you would need 2.25 yards of white and 4.5 of color plus what you want for the center If you do not think that you could get it that way if you cut 3 blocks wof 12.5 it would take 2.5 for white and 5 yards for the color plus what you need for the center and center border
