Ok perhaps that I am missing something when reading his instructions "method for diagonally piecing a quilt back from one peice of fabric, is the most efficient way to make the back whenever the width of the quilt back is one and a half times or less than the width of the fabric you plan to use. If the width of your back fabric is 44", use Joh's metod whenerve the width you want your back is 66" or less"

My back needs to be 96" or wider.

and my wof is 45".

Go to the site for John Flynn quilting frames. He has a whole write up for piecing your back. He explains why you should not necessarily put a seam down the middle of your quilt. Saving fabric is one good reason to use this method. Also it helps when storing the quilt. He works through all the math, so just follow it step by step for your situation.

It can be found here:

Can't put it all together as a link or will lose the message.

Hope this helps.
