That is so nice, the quilt. And, I have some fabric what will go with my quilting fabric. I can do this.

You might look at www.craftsy.com for their free class on creative quilt backs. It might make you more comfortable with the process.

If you hang around here for while you'll find that there really is no "right way." It's your choice. I think it's part of the learning process we all go through to develop our own personal style. I look forward to seeing your quilt.

There is no ONE way that is right. You can use a panel of some sort and frame it. You can piece the back as in a couple examples here. You can find 108" & more backings on line and often in stores. You can do simple seams. You can seam it up and down or you can seam it across.

Just to show you the variety of wide backings out there check Backside Fabrics. (I'm not affiliated with them or anything, they just have a large assortment to look at!) And some of the fabrics are 118" wide. Sometimes I'll buy wide fabric on sale to use as regular fabric in quilts...you can get some great deals this way.

calclate the difference in wide backing vs two lengths for seaming. It may not be more expensive and certainly less work.

Most of my quilts have pieced backs. One way to use up leftover fabric. I always buy extra to allow for any mistakes.
