Help! I cut my backing fabric length same size as the top!
Can I still use it? Here is the scenario:
It's a bed runner made from a jellyroll. I am going to stitch in the stitch, and then quilt the borders. I measured and cut the backing fabric to the same length as the top. I have not cut the width yet. Am I screwed? LOL I don't want to waste this length of fabric. What may happen if I carefully quilt it as it is? Thanks!

Why not add a piece of fabric to each end of the backing to make it long enough? It will just be like a decorative border!
Some of my most interesting quilts have come out better because of an unintended "booboo!"

Fabulous QuiltnMyra! Ooh... I have an idea...I can embroider a single long stemmed rose on a strip, and add it near one end, but not quite at the end. Know what I mean?
