I have never heard of this method, but sure came at the right time for me. I am making quick dog quilts, but the backing fabric was too small. I am going to try this.

Aren't you the clever one! Looks like a perfect solution to me.

Oh wow! Thanks for taking the time to show us.

That was very clever and practical! My only suggestion is that (being a cautious person) I would use a sheet of newspaper to try this out before cutting the fabric.

You are so clever! I will have to remember this trick.

Very cute quilt.

The calculator at the link included earlier is so much easier than trying to calculate it yourself.

I shared the info with the owner of two LQS's where they'd never heard of the method - which surprised me - although it probably shouldn't have as the method reduces the amount of fabric one needs to buy.
