58-60" wide
Lets say I want to make a bed top cover the width is around 58". The material you get is not 58". Now I know I can add borders and stuff to the edges to make it 58", but what do I do for the back? The back has to be larger, and I do not see anyone adding to it, or maybe I am missing that?

If you can't get wide backing, you have to seam.

I've purchased 108" wide fabric from fabric.com. Worked great.
No doubt there's other places selling 108" wide fabric. |
The backs you have seen are probably all one color so you can't see the seams or they used the wide backing which comes in widths up to 108"
|
Some quilt stores sell backing in patterned fabric. One of our locals sells 108 that way. More expensive, of course.

Pieced backing can be as beautiful as the front:) I like to use fabrics from the front to accent the backing. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...a-t120335.html This is a link to one I did for DGD. Maybe you can get some ideas.

[QUOTE=salden;5742900]I was hoping that would not be the answer:D. Ok, so it is the anwer. I suppose I can work the "seam" into the quilting process. I am so new at this stuff:rolleyes:[/QUOTEC]
Is there a reason you're opposed to a seam? When you quilt, it should make no difference. Treat the back as one piece of fabric, in spite of the seam. |
