For a basic meander- 0.015-0.025 per square inch
for custom- 0.025 and up
heirloom is even more

Binding is around 0.20-0.30 a linear inch

you have 3168 sq. inches, $47.52 for basic meander(most charge a $50 minimum)
thread changes are usually $5
Backing is between $8-$14.99 yard
batting is around $9 yard

HTH, Amie
