I would use John Flynn's diagonal pieced method and start with one of the extra wide back pieces Here is a link to acalculator that will help you figure out how much fabric you will need: <O

I have used this method on many, many quilts. I love it because I can roll the quilt on thequit frame and you don’t get bumps where the seam is. Additionally, depending on the fabric, theseam can disappear.<O
