I checked it out but it shows more how to figure out how much you need and I was looking more for HOW to do the backing. Do I sew just one seam down the middle or should I cut it in thirds and have two seams down the back? I have the quilt top laid out on the floor on top of the backing fabric and I have enough with 1 inch borders around it. What do you do or how do you do it?
Hi Mona,
John's method is how to figure out what fabric you need, and to cut and sew the backing together. It is generally not good to have a seam line directly straight down the middle. The next possible way is to have two seam lines on each side with the middle section being the largest. If the quilt is to be stored part of the year it stays better over time with the diagonal seam.
Hope this makes sense.
