I really don't mind a seam in the middle but the John Flynn method is interesting

I generally get fabric that is wider than the top and use that for backing. It is cheaper by at least $10 per metre, and the more expensive material is saved for another top.

What is WOF, please?

WOF = width of fabric (typically 45 inches)

Thank you

I try to save some of the fabric(s) from the top to incorporate into the back - usually as strips. It makes the back more interesting and often times turns out like another quilt. I agree with everyone - great fabric for backing.

I too agree with ckcowl and prairie queen. However if your long armer has a 12' frame she can load it either top to bottom or side to side whichever way accomodates the seam.

I considered putting some of the fabric from the front on the back, but finally decided to keep the back all one fabric. It's will still be reversible and I love the fabric! Thanks for all the input. I have learned so much from this board. You are all awesome!

Do it the way u think best. Love the fabric,very pretty.

You might want to watch this video, I think it's great for sandwiching the quilt. I had never thought of doing this, like Sharon does. I have always taped and pinned. Since this is your first quilt so to speak, you might want to start out using this method to save problems later down the road on others. Gerbie
