How much fabric to buy for backing and binding?
#1
I was hoping someone could help me out with my math. If I have a quilt that is 86x86 how much fabric should I buy? I want to order this online. As well as the fabric for the binding. I like wider bindings. It will be quilted by me. Thanks!

6 yards should be plenty--
36"x44" per yard---
5 yds- cut in half- sewn together- gives you a piece 90"x 88" (cutting it close here)
and leaves a yard for binding---
You only need about 22" for binding if using a 2 1/2" binding-
that leaves a little extra for fudge room- or to add to your stash.
