or another solution is purchase wide backing- there are a number of sites that sell backing fabrics in 90", 108" and 110-120" wide- it is cost effective- you only need 3 yards (108") for a queen sized quilt- often winds up being much less expensive and much easier- no piecing! fabric.com has a really large selection; backside quilting; many shops= just do a search...my local shop carries about a dozen, and joannes carries a number also. I order many of mine from fabric.com since they have free shipping at the $35 mark. instead of 9 yards of fabric @ $9 a yard,($81) you can buy 3 yards of backing fabric for $12-$14 a yard ($36-$42) and back a big quilt! there are lots of prints and batiks available in wide fabrics.
