Another way would be to sew the strip to the side, and then sew to the other side (making a tube) and then cut in half wherever you want-you can have the added strip in the center or make it off center.
Actually after thinking on it, I don't think either way is any easier. disregard. lol

Thank you all for the wonderful ideas.I am sure I can get it fixed somehow.It is a Christmas gift for someone don't know who yet LOL.
And I do think I have enough scraps to fix it .
Purple fiend The throw is around 50 in. wide. So it's not way off.
I will check out the other sites posted here also.I wish I had a way to post photos. But as of now I haven't any way.
Thanks again to all of you :thumbup:

It's not a tutorial there-but usually when she posts a picture of a quilt she'll also show her backing. Here is a link where she shows some of her backs.
