OK so I have a small problem on my hands. I pieced my back matching the pattern and it look fantastic. But it is too small by just a few inches. I bought a companion print and I will add it to the sides but I will have to cut off some of the first back so it looks like adding the companion print was planned.

So my question is - do I cut off of both sides of the first back or can I cut from one side and have what was my "middle" seam now off to one side.

The reason I would like to do this is so I have one usable piece of fabric instead of two long scraps. I hope this makes sense.
