I'm glad about the one as I suspected I may be good with it for binding (I'm binding the same as the backing fabric, which is also one of the fabrics in my top) and I bought all they had in the store (and it was nearly a yard less than what the estimates were listed).
This has happened a few times now and while it's an easy way to build stash its not necessarily how I want to do it, and it means I'm spending more on projects than I need to!
I guess i just need to be careful to add the yardage required By digging into the instructions before I shop.
