Backing and Binding: 9 Yards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A good rule of thumb – is to purchase additional fabric in each color – any amount from ¼ yard to 1/3 yard should do. This is just in case you might run short – and mistakes can happen while cutting or piecing. Save your scraps – you could possibly need them later…
