Help! I cut my backing fabric length same size as the top!

I recently finished one where I had actually cut the backing smaller by a smidge. I added a tiny sliver to make it bigger and when I didn't care for the look, I covered it up with the label. This will probably not help you but I would not be afraid to add a bit to each end to make it match. If it is small enough, you may be able to hide it with the binding.

That will still look intentional - and give you some wiggle room. I have always had some slippage with the backs, and the bigger the piece, the more "grace" I need.

I think you have come up with a great idea .... put the rose on a plain background fabric that you have used in the quilt and when deciding where to put it, allow for it to be on the bed top rather than on the side (assuming your bed runner is hanging over the edges of the bed. Bonus! ... you'll have a reversible runner!

Good ideas. I'm not much help about things like this because I don't like to fuss with making something work. I put the miss cut piece back in my stash and buy more the size I need or use another piece for backing.
