    It's 45" wide, so 3 1/2 yds. sounds good. I am planning to piece the back in 4 quadrants with a 4 1/2" strip running vertically and horizontally between the 4 pieces. I saw the design on the Photo section of the Board and really liked it. I'll wash the 3 1/2 yd. piece and then cut it and add the strips.

    Wash and dry before quilting.
