Sewing Question

Does anyone have experience with sewing with material printed on the bias?  

I am making nursery accessories (curtains, crib skirt, bumper pad) for my soon to be arriving grand-daughter.  

The material was ordered online, and when we received it, I was amazed to see that it was off-grain.  When we called, they said that all their material is printed at a 45 degree angle, and just to follow the pattern printed on the material.

I have been sewing all my life, and have never run into anything like this.  Why would they print it that way?  

This is going to be a more challenging project than I had anticipated.  I think the crib skirt will look great cut on the bias, but the draperies and the bumper, I don’t know about.
