[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 214725, member: 135"] If I knew how to draw a picture on this reply I could easily explain it. The thing is, square inches or feet or whatever really doesn't help you much here. If your bedcover is 72x102 and you are buying 45" fabric you will have to buy about 6 yards. 102 inches is a little less than 3 yards but you will need some extra for edging so you would buy 6 yards; cut it into two 3 yard sections; sew them together down the middle, and use that to line the bedcover. You would have enough left over for seam allowances, etc. and you will have some extra to cut off down the edges. If it is 54" fabric you could do it the other direction and you would only need a little over 4 yards. Sew the tow 54" pieces together and lay it across the 102" side (you'd have and extra 6" for seams so the 72" is 2 yards but you would need a little extra for seam allowances. Probably 4 1/8 yards would do it. [/QUOTE]
