- 84" x 95" using 8 fat quarters for the star blocks and 2 fat quarters for the large center blocks and sashing."
It doesn't look like there's that much background fabric to me. How much background fabric did you need?
Here are the fabric requirements from the pattern:
Star Blocks* (8) Fat Quarters (Dark FQ)
Large Center blocks and Sashing: (2) 1/2 yards (Dark 1 & 2)
(2) Fat Quarters (Dark 3 & 4)
Center Framing: 3/4 yard (Dark 5)
Inner Border: 3/4 yard (Dark 6)
Outer Border & Star blocks*: 2 1/2 yds. (Dark 7)
*Use excess border fabric to make 4 star blocks
Background: 4 3/4 yards (light)
Backing: 7 1/2 yards
Binding: 3/4 yard
