For some reason, don't know why, I always buy 5 yards. So far it has been ok. I've used different sized pieces for the backing. When I buy specifically for backing it's 6 or 7 yards. My problem is, I often change my mind on what the backing should look like. You can call me creative or wishy-washy.
