So your stretch is in a taper, thinnest at the edge tapering to zero near the oval.
The oval describes a general area for you to work to.

Accurately shown, the non-worked area looks more like this:

You can see how I have abbreviated the X across the panel, though the shape still goes from corner to corner.

But the shape follows as though the X were marked out there. The oval is drawn as a reversed version here, which more accurately maps the real area - but is a hard geometry for me to describe to you using only words.

The shape is more complex than what you face, but the relative geometry is the same - with yours having less shaping rather than more, but the overall "reverse" is shaped in the same approach: with two opposite sides stretched "up" and the other two opposite sides stretched "down."
