Have we missed the boat completely? Are you speaking of piecing the backing or borders?
That's exactly what I was wondering. If you piece the back on the diagonal it is supposed to take less fabric, and if you long arm it, the seam is distributed across the quilt.
It is the Flynn method. You will need to scroll down a bit
