This is the first one that I found. It shows where you make your cut before folding and turning your backing

Good Luck :thumbup:
This is how I do it! I've also cut the corners off like you do for a shaggy fleece quilt but be careful that you don't cut too much. It was a Sesame Street theme baby quilt and I made a last minute design decision to applique cutouts of the characters in each corner. That's right! I did it on purpose! I have a bridge for sale, too. Live & learn--LOL!
