I finished my big Orphan Block project quilt top and on a whim I decided to piece the back! It was so much fun!!
I had planned to use 108" yardage for the Orphan block quilt but I did not really have anything that filled the bill. So I just decided to dive in and make a backing. It threw me a little off schedule but not to bad.
I have been trying for some time to make more backings. I have soooo much fabric it just makes sense.
Awhile back I went through my Asian fabrics and culled some of the 'less loved' pieces for making backs. So the other day when I shifted gears for this project I already had a basket of fabrics ready to go. No time wasted Dithering about what to use, I got right to work. So it really only took me about a day to get it done!
Here's the finished top, it's 92" x 96" !
I know...Pretty busy, uh?!
All the more reason to have a nice backing! I can always flip the quilt over to rest my eyes!!!
LOLOL!
I hope you are well!
Have a great Week!
take care, cw
The fabrics in your back are gorgeous! As you say, maybe not great for blocks but when you can see so much of the fabric they're wonderful for a back.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine you dithering, Claire. I don't know you personally but from your posts I imagine you as more of a decisive person.
What a wonderful back! I like pieced backs: double the pleasure when using the quilt. I 'discovered' that when I put a fun back on a child's quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh, Claire, that turned out fabulous! Makes me itch to get back to my scrap blocks. The pieces back is perfect - so eclectic and fun!
