Ok... I just measured and I hope I got this right.
The quilt top measures width- 45 1/8 inches- 45 1/4 inches (two different spots measured) and the length was 63 1/8. (in both spots I measured)
The backing fabric was wide fabric so I hope I get this right. From selvage to fold (which is the width?) measured 55" so I times that by two since it's folded and have 110 inches? (can that be right?) And the length (?) was 55 1/2 inches. I bought the back so long ago I have no idea how many yards I got. My sewing friend was with me and she helped me pick. But she lives an hour away and it's been so long she can't remember how much we got.
The YBR pattern is calling for 6 1/2 inch strips to make the border.
When I made the finished quilt above, I had to somehow cut it and sew it back together to make the backing. Will I have to do that for this quilt?
I googled some images of YBR quilts and I really like the look of a smaller border and then a bigger border around that. I don't think I'll do that with this quilt, but it's something I might want to try in the future.
