    And how exactly would one expand a 108"x108" one-piece backing to 116"x116" without a vertical seam?

    Here's my take on that - I usually, if possible do do horizontal seams because I don't like to have seams showing in the turndown (top 22" of the quilt back).
    However, if aesthetically I want/need it, then my long-armers need to deal with it and make it work. ;-)
    Good thought on the non-seam of the turndown. Though most of my quilts are square too ... and I never know which way is the official up, down or sideways.

    Agreed, 108" is not going to work for same size quilt so MTS has offered a great solution. Also as a LAQ you can work with back seams going any direction.

    oops, actually, I had really intended to upload this image instead.
    sorry.

    The first cut can go either way, but the main goal being to keep the seams away from the center or quarter-line in either direction - as these are most commonly used to fold a quilt.

    chickiez hasn't done much posting on this board - so maybe she doesn't hang out here very much -

    That said, I was wondering what the topic was going to be about.
