Question on backing fabric directions???
Hello. I'm working on a bargello and want to use some of the leftover strips on the backing. In fact, want to use all the leftover fabrics for the backing. As the strips won't be long enough going vertical, I thought maybe I'd put them horizontal but I know one of my fabrics there is enough to go vertical. So my question is this, does all the fabrics need to go the same direction or can I put them whatever fits? I know the fabric stretches more one direction than the other but since our quilts have the blocks/fabric going all various ways, I thought it okay but wanted to ask you folks first.
I made the bargello pattern too wide so decided to put the extra strips onto the back along with the extra strips I cut at the 1st step.
Thanks again for any insight.
