I don't recall the amount of oilcloth I used...I think I just measured each piece, allowed for folding around the sides and onto the back. Oilcloth comes in different widths, but what I got from
http://www.mendels.com was 46" wide. Four yards probably would do it unless your pieces are longer than 48".
I still love my version of Marguerite's "table" and find it very versatile. I moved last year and added another section behind my sewing desk (supported by some moving boxes full of stuff!) and now have a pretty large surface for quilting.
