This seems to be the logical way to do it. I have had quilts come back from the LAQ with not enough backing and had to piece them. It was really disheartening. It can be done. It will just take a lot more care by the LAQ. No bigger thn it is, you could quilt it on your domestic, but if you haven't practiced, this may not be the time. It depends on your skill and sense of adventure.
