My Diagonal Pieced Backing
This weekend I had to make a quick baby quilt using fabrics from my stash. The top finished out at 42" x 44" while the flannel that I was planning on using for backing was only 41" wide. I remembered that someone here had posted the math for John Flynn's method of diagonal backing, but there's a reason I needed extra tutoring in algebra. Just could not figure it out, but I thought that maybe if I positioned my top onto the backing diagonally a lightbulb would go off. It did - but not the approved way. I realized that I would have a triangle at each side of the top and if I cut those off, maybe I could move them to the sides. It worked! I'll try posting the four photos I took during the process.
