I do mine with the larger center panel with two equal pieces sewn to each side.
For a smaller quilt I sew two equal lengths together and use that. I cut the selvages off the 2 sides that need to be sewn together, so I don't get mixed up. I make the seam about 5/8 - 1" and press open. |

I have found articles on pieced backings, but can't find one or a tutorial on using a single piece of material. I made a backing one time, but I have forgotten how I did it. Please help me! I would like an answer that I can refer back to whenever the problem arises again-so I don't have to rely on my failing memory. Thanks to all who support the Quilting Board; don't know if I'd be quilting without the great help from all.
