What is your bare minimum??
What is the bare minimum backing size you can get by with? Quilt top is 41". I currently only have one inch on the sides. Top and bottom are OK. The borders are 3.5 inches, so I can trim an inch off, which would give me a couple inches on the sides. I plan on SITD and echo quilting. Quilt has 5 10 x10 squares, and 2 18 x 10 squares, with 1 inch sashing between. The backing is perfect for the quilt. I've always had 4" or more overhang. Is this enough, or will I run into problems?
