So now I have looked more closely at the quilt top and measured the backing fabric. I now find there are issues to be dealt with before I can finish it. All 4 corners are the same way, and some of the side triangles need to be replaced with a larger triangle so there is a 1/4" seam allowance. The real problem is this....there are 5 1/3 yards of backing fabric, which is also the border fabric. If I replace some of the triangles and add 2" borders, I am not going to have enough fabric for the backing. I just spent 2 hours searching for this fabric with no luck. It has been discontinued. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I really WANT to finish this lovely quilt. Oh, the measurements are 76"x88" without the borders. I need at least 2" all around to make it fit my bed.
