I am currently working to finish a quilt that I started about 10 yrs ago. The only thing I have to do is the outside border and then send it out for LAQ. This is my problem...I am going to have to pice the border and the backing. These are out of the same fabric along with the binding. My first question is..how do I cut the fabric?? I have almost 6yds of fabric. DoI cut borders and binding first WOF and use the leftovers to piece for the backing or piece the back first and the cut borders/binding? Question 2..the borders are a solid brown where is the best place to have the seam?? Middle, side?? Question 3..what is the best way to piece the back?? one seam down the middle?? I have never had to do this before as this is the largest quilt I have done. It is defintely an oversized twin. I have another quilt ready to send to the LAQ so I need to get this done this weekend. I know I will get some good advice..I promise to post pictures soon. Thanks in advance for your help.
