If you do not need to fussy cut, you can get away with 3/4 of a yard (if a bolt is 40" selvage to selvage, you'd get 8 squares in a row, then you would need 5 rows across to get to 40 squares. This would be 25 inches of fabric, which is just under 3/4 of a yard). But if you need to fussy cut, you may need double that depending on how much your image repeats.
Hope that helps!

Thank you. That helps me. I was going to buy 3 yards of each fabric.
Oh goodness!! :) Glad I could help!! I will probably buy 1 yard for ones I am not fussy cutting and then I'll just have to count the repeats on ones that I am .... But probably will be able to get away with with no more than 2 yards for those.
Cheers!
