putting together a quilt back
Hi, I don't know how to make a quilt back (out of the same material). My pattern says to buy 91/2 yards of fabric. Then what do I do? How do I cut the material. The quilt is 99 x 99, add 8" for the quilter, it's 107x107. Thanks!

You always want to give the person whose quilting that 4" on each side of the backing. I had someone give me the backing that was the same size as the quilt top. I had to spend extra time trying my best to center the quilt. Helps to have a large area on the floor to measure plus one of those 120" vinyl cloth measuring tapes (JAF has them). Measure twice and ONLY then, cut. Good Luck!!
