Re: best fabric for quilt back?
My first few quilts I did lots of stuff... Made one with 4 pieces sewn together for a back. Made one with 2 long pieces as a back. Then read that 3 worked better. Made one that was 2 sided. Wow.. When I think about all of the work it took to cut them straight and then line them up it wears me out. The last 2 I used wide fabric. One was just a muslin and one was black Kona.
However, I am using a technique that someone posted on here. It was called.. "How to quilt a big quilt on a small table". (Or close to that.) A lady used a cute method to find the center of the table and a genius way to find the center of your backing, batting and topper. If I would have used that from the beginning it would saved me hours... I have used this technique twice and it worked great!
Before I finish this post I will see if I can find it...
