Ok, some day this will all make sense to me - but today I am really struggling.

I have the front of my quilt top done. I want to use 6 different fabrics for the backing and it needs to be a total of 63 x 82. I want to do them all like boarders for the entire back -but I don't even know where to start as far as diminisions.

I do want to do miterd corners so I know I need the strips to be long - that part is no big deal - but I can't figure out how wide they should be to get the effect I want. Can anyone help?

These are the fabrics. The pink on the left would be center finishing with the one on the right.
