That will give you three pieces that are approximately WOF x 103". Sew each of those three pieces together along the selvage edge, and you'll end up with a backing piece that is approximately 103"x120", plenty big enough for a 94"x112" top.

Good luck!


This won't look funny or weird?
I don't think so, but I can see that it might not be in everyone's comfort zone to do it this way. My goal was trying to avoid too many seams coming together at one place and creating a thick place for the needle to penetrate when quilting.
