Diagonal Backing
Has anyone done this method for their backing? It’s my understanding this is a good method to use if your short on backing, and I’m facing that dilemma on a quilt I want to finish up in the next week.

I use this method all the time...mostly for 50" x50" baby blankets. Looks great and saves fabric.

Thank you for the post and the link! I’d not heard of this method!
|
Yes it works well, pay attention to the size limitations. It doesn't work for king sized quilts.

|
I've found it gets difficult to keep the diagonal correct for larger quilts. Now I usually go with horizontal seams instead.

Thanks everyone, I’m gonna give it a try and see how it works out......it wouldn’t be the first time I learned an expensive lesson!
|
And for those who would like a worksheet......

I think John Flynn teaches that method of making a diagonal seam on backings. I think he explains it on his website, and he pioneered that method.
