I hope someone can give you a good guess. When I purchased fabric, I figured a 6" square for each block. Some yardage estimates for the background are 10-15 yds. If it was me, I'd want the same amount on hand of the foreground if doing two colors. As a general note, I don't mind having overage but hate to run out. It will be interesting to see others estimates.
