How much double border fabric to buy?

Ok, I am totally in love with this: http://www.hawthornethreads.com/fabric/designer/sarah_jane/wee_wander/summer_night_lights_in_magenta


I am dying for January!!!


It is a double border fabric, so the layout will be very different than what directions indicate. I am not sure how much to purchase. I would have to do the layout perpendicular to the actual directions.


A size 4 calls for 1 1/2 yds. I measured the length of the pattern pieces. The longest pieces are 22 inches each. The fabric is 44-45 inches.


Does anyone have any suggestions for how much *more* fabric I would need for the perpendicular layout when using a double border fabric?


Anyone out there have a tutorial in calculating yardage and layout for double border fabric?? :)
