Default How to guesstimate yardage?

I now have the Deb Tucker ruler that you recommended, and made a few practice blocks...after watching her video, I found it pretty easy to do. Thanks for the info!
I need to find background fabric online-no local quilt shops, and my vision limits my driving. I am notorious for not ordering enough fabric, and then scrambling to find more. I plan to use a white batik for the background ( the white row of blocks in the quilt are actually shades of tan/taupe). I don’t want to over buy...thinking 3 yards? And boy, white fabrics online are difficult!
Quilt will be 48x66 (diamond blocks are 3x6) before borders. The greens may be small Honu turtle appliqués.
