I have been considering starting this quilt, and was surprised to see that the book calls for 10 yards of the main fabric. Even with the binding, that seems excessive to me. For this of you who have made this quilt - what would you say is the amount of fabric really needed for the background fabric for the blocks alone? Thanks.
