OK, just went to the site. How can a qult this large only use 2 yards of fabric in the squares and 1/2 yd for the sashing?

"Finished size:

84" x 95" using 8 fat quarters for the star blocks and 2 fat quarters for the large center blocks and sashing."

It doesn't look like there's that much background fabric to me. How much background fabric did you need?

Outer Border & Star blocks*: 2 1/2 yds. (Dark 7)
*Use excess border fabric to make 4 star blocks
