Jan/Feb Love of Quilting
#1
Did anyone else get their new issue yet? There are a couple Valentine quilts that look fun but the yardages look like way to much. "I Wooley Love Eye" is a 44X44 quilt and it calls for 3yards of backing fabric and a twin size batting. How could it possibly need that much?
Another one is "Stars of My Heart". Its 59X81 and calls for 5 yards of backing fabric.
I'm afraid if I go buy the fabrics amounts listed I'll have a lot extra. I'm also trying to use my stash but will really have to do some calculating to see if I have enough of what I need.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I havn't seen the magazine yet but they are probably having you piece the backing with only 2 pieces or so. You can always piece your backs with smaller pieces, just join them together to the size you need. Back don't need to be all the same fabric also. You can use several different ones if you want to use fabs from your stash. Just piece them together to the size needed.

I dont have the magazine, but somehow it doesn't seem off to me. I have a feeling, that their backing yardages are not for wide backing fabric, but for regular 42" wide fabric, and so the yardages would be the right amount for a 42" wide with a seam down the middle. Also for the batting, a lot of people buy their batting packaged instead of off of a roll, so maybe they mean buy a twin size package as compared to not buying queen sixe??? Just some ideas
