"Backed Up"

My Moon Glow quilt is temporarily on hold.  I received backing fabric in the kit, and it's supposed to be big enough to back a 110 x 110 in. quilt.  However, it's 44" wide, and according to the directions, I would use 2-1/2 strips for the width.  Do the math!  2 strips at 44, and 1 piece cut in half is 22.  So 88 and 22.  This is EXACTLY 110.  Hmmmm!  Gotta cut off the selvages, and take some off for seam allowances.  Now it is not wide enough to quilt the quilt!  I wrote an email to the quilt company that sold me the quilt, explaining my problem, and they were very nice and will send me more fabric.  Hmmmmm!  Seems like they ran out of the kind of backing they sent me, and will have to send me new (but similar) backing, enough for 3 full strips.  I will have to return the original 8.25 yards of backing.  Geez, it's always something, isn't it!?
