In any case, our yardage requirements come out the same if the borders are not pieced.
If the actual size of the top is 62 x 76 - I think the numbers on my second drawing are correct. I ALWAYS try to buy a bit extra to allow for shrinkage and wonkiness.
I try to avoid width of fabric (WOF) cutting for borders - but this is not my project. Also - remember that MANY fabrics have only 40-42 inches of usable width.
(But it's late - maybe someone can come along and check it out again!)
