My boss is Mormon and for his family he is thinking Xmas gifts of the quilt on the bed:

If I did my math right you should need 3 and 1/2 yards of fabric (which leaves you a little room for making sure fabric is straight)
The way I see it you should get 6 6'5" squares from one strip cut at 6.5 by wof and there should be 6 6.5xwof cuts to 42" of fabric-again leaving a little room.
