So I did some math- 6.5" block would use 42.25 sq inches, 140 blocks would be 5915 sq inches total. Assuming a yard is 40" wide, that would be 1440 square inches. So that works out to be 4.1 yards. And only one or two blocks will use a lot of background, so it should not take over 4 yards.

Since I've no new blocks to share, here is my cutting table in all it's "glory"



and my growing pile of blocks waiting to be sewn
