It depends on the fabric, basics like PFD fabric anywhere from 10 yards to a bolt. I use a lot of this. If its a fabric I plan to applique with, a fat quarter will usually be enough. For piecing, anywhere from a yard to 3 yards depending if I think it will be a border. If its really cheap--(price not quality) and it is something I use a lot of, 3 - 6 yards.
I do have a good stash, so usually only need to add in colors I have used recently.
