Don't be afraid of buying 4 yards or more of one fabric. I use these for backings, borders and have even been known to use yardage as a tablecloth in a pinch. Just today I had to seat 16 for a brunch and needed to place 2 tables together. Tablecloths don't come 8 foot long but yardage does! Just pick neutrals & you can't go wrong. If you love it buy lots, if you just like it a lot buy a yard. At these prices buy as much as you can afford.
