I am math challenged! HELP!
I have a quilt top that is 54 x 64. If I want to leave 3" all around the top for my quilter that makes 60 x 70. Right?
I have a backing piece that is 56 x 102.
Will this backing piece be usable? I thought you could sew along the selvage edge or the cut edge, cut on the folded part, open it up, and create a larger piece. But I forget which edge to sew!
Which edge do I sew to make the backing longer? Which edge to make it wider?
Will the backing piece I have work for the top if I sew/cut it?
TIA

I'll frame the best answer I get!
