Hi! Making a 66x53 quilt. Question I have is about the backing. Fabric is a flannel plaid and I can only piece it horizontally. Matching it is super hard! Am I crazy to do that? Should I wait for a wideback flannel instead to make life more easier? Also can I use reg. cotton for my binding since it's really cute and would match the quilt top well? Should I cut the backing and batting 4 inches larger than the top?
Sorry for all the questions. Just want this to be really nice for my daughter's birthday present
Thanks in advance for replying.
