Divide that by 36 and you can come out with a little less that 3 yards. 3 yards should give you what you need for the back but do you need anything for binding? and since this is an old quilt, I would want to wash that yardage to be sure of shrinkage or possible bleeding before it is finished. Also, if it is considered vintage, I would carry through and quilt it in the method that you are restoring. If it was hand quilted, as most were in the past, I'd do that again.
thank you fo your input. I don't need binding, and the fabric is non-directional so I will buy three yards. The original quilt was tied, so I haven't decided whether to tie it again,or quilt it myself .
