All of your speedy replies are really wonderful!!!!! Thank you so much!!! My pattern indicates a finished size of 71"x71". Since it is an out of print Judy Neimeyer pattern I figured extra fabric would be a good thing. This is the Bird of Paradise quilt pattern. As I was unpacking from the most recent move- it re-appeared!!! All of the fabrics were in the package- I just need the background & binding. I'll worry about the backing later
Thank you one and all- will see which yardage gives me the best savings when I get to the quilt shop!!!
Have a great day.
