Okay, that should cover 54 x 78 at 150 dpi, so I'm not sure what's going on there. It depends on what resolution they're printing at. Higher resolutions will mean a smaller, more densely colored image, whereas a lower resolution will give you a larger image, but with less color. That's why the super large photos you see are kinda "washed out". So the image at 1200 dpi will only cover 6.8 x 9.8, but if you lower it to 300 dpi, it'll cover 27 x 39, and so on.
Spoonflower should print at 150 dpi by default, so you might want to check by clicking here, and it should pop open details like this. Try typing in "150" and clicking "Change DPI".
" Isn't the 1 image suppose to extend to 56 x 36 on the fabric when I click repeat at 2 yards shouldn't I have 2 large images visible on spoonflower?"
No. The repeat only goes off what size the image is. Your image is, for some reason, showing up as a 20 x 12, so clicking "centered" will give you one 20 x 12 image on a blank sheet. Clicking "basic repeat" will tile the image to fill however many yards you need.
i ran out of time today so, I'm going to play around with the image and see what happens? I'm going to try what Ninslayer is saying by saving the image as a pdf then a jpg tomorrow and post my results here.
Also, how should I orientate the image on the fabric when uploading? Currently I thought it should be this direction (using this painting as an example):

Is that right?

As far as orientation, it depends on how you're planning on using the fabric. For a skirt, you have it going the right direction.
