    background Yardage

    I am planning on using my own fabric for the background ... one for center and one for outer row of houses.

    Does anyone know how the amount of 4.5 Yd breaks down to accommodate two fabric choices?

    Jean, Barbara Black did cover that several times in past posts. I took a screenshot of what she said, in the future you might scroll thru the topics under color my world to see if
    anyone had already asked the same question. Would love to see a picture of the two fabrics you are using for background. HelenW
