Measure the width of your quilt and add 4-6 (or chosen excess). Design a backing to equal that width, adding 1/2 to each panel for each seam you'll use to sew it to a neighboring panel. Cut panels to the length of your quilt plus 4-6 (or chosen excess). Sew panels together with a 1/2 seam allowance. Press seams open to reduce bulk. Press backing before use.
Tips for Choosing and Preparing a Quilt Backing. 1  Cut and piece the quilt backing larger than the quilt top, adding at least 8 to both the length and width measurements. 2  If youâre concerned about the quality of your hand or machine quilting, choose a busy print that will camouflage your stitches.
