It's approx 4 1/2 yards of fabric to get the 36 fat eighths...you will be getting that 11x18 piece to work with to make a 12 1/2 inch block. So not too much more for the block. The great thing is that you would be using just as much fabric if you made the quilt all yourself..this way you get a block from all over! =) yay!

sounds like a lot of fabric is needed, has anyone done the math?
