Tips for Pieced Backing

If your quilt is under 60" wide, a horizontal seam will often save on yardage. The examples above show a 60" x 80" quilt. 3 1/3 yards of standard width backing has been cut 60" long and pieced.

If your quilt is more than 60" wide, consider using a vertical seam. The examples above show a 80" x 80" quilt. 4 1/2 yards of standard width backing has been cut 80" long and pieced. Depending on the cost of the fabric you are using to piece the backing, it may be more economical to buy 2 1/4 yards of extra wide backing.

If your quilt is over 80" wide, consider using the wide backing sold on this page. In the 110" x 110" example shown above, you would need 9 1/4 yards of standard width fabric but only 3 yards of extra wide fabric.
