I do this all the time. i do charity quilting and get tops and backing and the backing is not big enough but also when I am making my own and I only have 2 inch extra on the sides. i have left over fabric that I save to use just for this purpose.

when quilting on DSM you are not rolling the quilt up or need to clamp the sides for tension purpose (to keep the quilt from jumping when that hopping foot is laying down 1200 stitches lickity-split). An explanation of how the LA rolls with example of rolling a magazine and the back ends up shorter since all the pages are the same size, really does explain this well.
