I've finished another postcard quilt, this time with gray and all original colors. I thought it would be fun to compare it too the previous one I made with the extra colors. It's the one with the black binding. There's not a lot of difference between the two. Mostly I see a few darker pieces on the black one in the bottom left corner. I also see a few different fabrics in the upper left where I changed out some of the orange to make it more diverse and more towards the lighter orange. I wasn't sure I would like the black binding, but I really think it's striking in this photo. I'm working on a new pattern...finally! It will be sewn just as soon as my sewing machine comes back from the repair shop. I hope it's not gone too long!

Today I am going to attempt to help you figure out how to cut and buy the correct amount of fabric for the back of your quilt. This will be featured in the tool section as Backing Chart for quick reference in the future. This chart assumes your fabric is 42 inches wide. You will have to make adjustments if your fabric is a different width. This first section will feature five different options for piecing the backing depending on how big your quilt is for the optimal use of fabric. I did do the drawings below, but someone else figured out the math, and I am not sure who to give the credit to, as someone gave me these numbers. These options will give you a piece big enough to back your quilt, but you will have to trim in most cases after putting the quilt sandwich together: OPTION A: No piecing. Just cut to size. OPTIONS B AND C: Cut the backing fabric in half crosswise (selvage to selvage), removing the selvage first and then sewing the two pieces together lengthwise on the long edges. OPTIONS D AND E: With this option you cut your fabric in thirds crosswise again, (selvage to selvage). Sew the three pieces together lengthwise along the long edges. QUILT SIZE CHART WITH BACKING DIAGRAM NEEDED AND YARDAGE NEEDED QUILT SIZE USE DIAGRAM YARDAGE NEEDED 28" x 28" A 1 28" x 40" A 1 34" x 44" A 1 1/4 40" x 52" A 1 1/2 42" x 56" A 1 3/4 48" x 54" B 3 48" x 60" B 3 52" x 52" B 3 56" x 68" B 3 1/4 58" x 62" B 3 1/2 60" x 72" B 3 1/2 60" x 80" B 3 1/2 62" x 86" C 5 62" x 92" C 5 1/4 66" x 105" C 6 69" x 96" C 5 1/2 76" x 110" C 6 1/4 86" x 105" D 7 1/4 86" x 115" D 7 1/4 90" x 110" D 7 3/4 96" x 110" D 8 100" x 111" D 8 1/2 106" x 116" D 9 112" x 110" E 9 1/4 124" x 116" D 10 1/2 Another method to cut a backing is diagonally. This was first developed by John Flynn of the Flynn Frame Company while trying to help his sister. She had a piece of fabric which wasn’t quite long enough to cut in half and sew back together with a vertical seam to get a quilt back. Her idea was to cut the fabric into two big triangles along the diagonal, offset the triangles along the diagonal cut to get the width she needed and then sew them back together. John, having an engineering background had a formula to help her. John’s method for diagonally piecing a quilt back from one piece of fabric is the most efficient way to make the back whenever the width of the quilt back is one and a half times, or less, than the width of the fabric you plan to use. For example, if the width of your back fabric is 44”, use John’s method whenever the width you want your back to be is 66” or less. If you are using fabric that is 60” wide, use John’s method whenever you want your quilt back to be 90” or less. This is explained at his site very well Here. This formula is mathmatically complicated for my mind to grasp, but someone has taken his formula and made a tutorial and calculator to help you. You will find this calculator and tutorials on different variations of the diagonal cut backing at: Multi-Patch. I hope this was helpful to you. I have a printable document in the tool section for you to take along to the quilt shop here. Piecefully yours, Debbie

While each decade is filled with new trends in quilting, the popularity of 1930s quilts and quilt patterns is still going strong almost a century later. Spanning the Great Depression, quilting trends from the 1930s were very much influenced by their time, with quilters favoring scrap quilts over spending money on expensive fabric. Pastel colors were also trending with quilters during this time and many saw the light colors in their quilts as a way to be uplifting during hard times. If you can't get enough vintage quilt patterns and have always had a fondness for traditional quilts, then you'll love our collection of Depression Era quilt patterns and projects. Our collection of quilts inspired by America's Great Depression is budget-friendly and vintage-inspired, both of which are key to Depression era quilts. We've included block patterns popular during the 1930s, including Dresden plates, as well as several scrap quilt projects that are perfect for frugal quilters. If you can't get enough light and airy quilts, then you'll love our section of pretty pastel quilts that are reminiscent of typical 30s quilts popular with quilters in the Great Depression. Turn back the clock to one of America's most popular decades for quilting and choose your favorite project from our list of Depression era quilt patterns!
