Thank you ladies for your help and your photos.....your blocks are beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished products. I made a mistake when I posted my questions though....I didn't mean to ask for yardage for the backing of the quilt, what I meant was how much fabric would I need for the BACKGROUND of each block. In other words, the long hexie path that finishes each block. I'm thinking that my quilt will measure approx. 96"x106" or so. Sorry for the confusion. And once again, thanks in advance for your help.
