John Flynn's backing method

Thank you for the picture and the explanation that lead to the picture!
But wouldn't you need a really long piece of fabric? I understand if it's a 50" quilt, not a lot of waste. But if it's 60" or 70", seems like you'd lose a lot in those tiny triangle pieces...
Thanks again for the pics!

OK, just saw the diagram, and now I see how it works. Don't read the explanation on the internet...it is just very confusing!! :-D

Here is another way that works great. I use this for method for most of my backings.
