If I'm understanding you right, you are taking 2 shorter lengths of fabric and joining them at the sides to make a bigger piece with a join that will run across the middle of the quilt. I do this all the time, works great :thumbup: , whatever I can to make my fabric go a bit further. Don't forget to remove your selveges first though as they are at a different tension to the rest of the fabric. If you don't you could create a lovely ripple effect right across the middle of your quilt, don't ask me how I know this :lol:
