I found a chart at the link below. It doesn't have exactly 2/3 yard of fabric, but you may be able to guesstimate using what's on the chart.

Here's my favorite way of making continuous bias. You will have to extrapolate from her chart also.

These are good charts. A good visual tutorial for me is on Jona Gimmalva site. So combining all 3 links and saving them works for me.

I haven't had to cut bias binding in a very long time. Neat that there are so many resources.

Just about as many yards as you would if you were cutting it on grain. You would have more seams, though.

I like to do continuous bias. I think you get a lot more that way. Like bearisgray said, however, lots of seams. I use the jaybird quilts website to figure out yardage.

You can get approx. 11 yards...based on 40 inch width fabric...
