After realizing that I didn't take into account that you had upsized your quilt, I decided to do an official EQ7 file. Maybe these will help you. I can email you a copy of the EQ7 file if you PM me your email. I did up the width of the usable fabric to 42". I don't know how to add applique to a block or quilt so that info is not included. I did use a standard log cabin block from EQ. I upsized it in my quilt to 7.5 inches. I used a fun bubbly green for the binding just so you would know how much EQ was estimating.

EQ7 front yardage is based on usable 42" and the binding totals 6 3/8 yards. For the size quilt you made, you needed 4 yards of 42" backing, which comes to a total of 10 3/8 yards. Amazing how it adds up so quick, isn't it? And don't forget your batting cost.
