I kind of figured it out as I was posted the question. I ended up putting the sides to read vertical. I'm glad I had plenty of fabric. Thanks for the replies. I have never had so many problems with a project as I have had with this quilt. Everything that could go wrong did, nothing matched up and I have spent countless hours on it. This is for my sister so it is a non-paying job. I did not realize how difficult it would be. I have got to longarm quilt it when I finish the back. Hope no problems there.
