calculator for diagonal pieced backs
http://www.multi-patch.com/html/fabric_calc.php I usually do the algebra myself but couldn't find my formula so I tried to find it again and make more copies. I found that John Flynn has a calculator to do it for you! Backs pieced on the diagonal are so much easier for frame quilting because you don't get a big lump from the seam rolling on top of itself when you have a vertical seam.
in case the link doesn't work: I just googled Flynn formula for wide quilt backs and I think this was the first choice.

I did the Flynn formula for a lap quilt and it really turned out nice. I think the idea works better with an all over print fabric...the diagonal seam is less noticeable than one would see with a solid fabric.

Uh, there seems to be a bug in their software. I put in a 72 x 80 quilt and this is what I got:
Backing Width: 81.00
Backing Length: 88.00
Fabric Length Inches: -3,520.00
Fabric Length Yards: -97.78
I'm not a math whiz, but I'm pretty sure that is not the right answer! :-)
