Large Quilt Backing Yardage Requirements Chart
|
Large Quilt Backing Yardage Requirements (based on 45" wide fabric) |
| |
|
Note: Take the LENGTH of your quilt and triple it + 27 inches (if your tripled LENGTH is more than 154", divide it by 2 then use the chart to find out what half your yardage is and double the yardage.) Note: If the quilt WIDTH is less than 72" WIDE you must use the (regular) Backing Requirements Chart |

You need to begin with sufficient yardage for the backing. Take the length of your quilt and triple it, adding 3/4 of a yard to your total. The extra 3/4 of a yard is allowance for shrinkage and uneven cutting. Thus, if you have a quilt top that is 80 inches per side, you need at least 240 (+27) inches for the back. Ideally you want this in three 89" lengths. |
