As someone who cuts fabric in a quilt shop, I have another perspective. The quilter always has a clearer idea in her head of what she is doing than I do as the person in front of her cutting fabric and not everyone can clearly express what they are doing. I just think it's bottom line the quilter's responsibility to figure out their yardage, at my shop we ALWAYS help people with that, but I do get frustrated with people who don't even attempt to learn how to figure out their yardage. Just another point of view.

Never let her calculate fabric for me again. That's what I would do. LOL. I would go back and tell her she was off and now you are stuck with a backing that you can't use because of it. If she does not make her mistake good then never shop there again. If she does make it right then pay for 1/2 of the new backing cost. To me that is the best thing to do. Everyone makes mistakes.

How about making corner blocks to make up for the fabric shortage (I've done this and it works well)? I wouldn't mention it the store - I see too many negative possibilities:
... you misunderstood what I said;
.... next time do it yourself;
.... I don't remember the incident, you sure it was me?;
and on and on and on.....
Chalk it up to lesson learned and next time come here for help. I'm sure "Craftybear" could have come up with the correct answer in a flash, probably with several websites to back her up LOL
