Thanks JAN for the graphics -
I prefer to make my backs in the "style" of the top left and the three on the bottom because they look like they have been 'planned' and not "ooopsie - I ran out of fabric and just sewed on some more to make the back big enough".
There have been times when I've received donation quilts to quilt, that I've actually taken the backs apart to make them look "planned" instead of "oopsie". Donation quilts should look great too!
MANIACQUILTER - that's an awesome back! That's the kind of back that will gather an 'wow' when people see it. NEVER mention to the recipient the error that got you to the awesome back! Hahahaha! Let them think you 'planned' it that way! You talented girl you!
I do the "mathematical and graphical method for calculating quilt backs"....no sense in tossing around extra fabric or tops if I don't have to. No getting on the floor here.
I will be making two creative backs this week and will post pictures....if I remember! Hahahaha!
