Argh! Tried the calculator and it's giving me negative numbers. According to the number of square inches in the fabric and the square inches on the quilt, I should be able to get it on there somehow. I'm no math whiz, but I think the problem is that the fabric, including selvages, is only 41" wide, not 45" wide. (didn't realize they came less than 45, or am I out of the loop?) I know I can do it by using one of the other fabrics with this one and just doing three lengthwise strips, but this diagonal thing sounds good!
here is an online, "plug-in-the-numbers" diagonal calculator with my results in it. Weird, huh? See the negative numbers?
Backing Width: 95.00
Backing Length: 96.00
Fabric Length Inches: -302.00
Fabric Length Yards: -8.39
