I'm eager to begin quilting but I don't have a back ready for this quilt. I've been considering the fabrics along the top of the photo below.
They're in the color range I think might work. Except maybe the light one is too light; I think deeper tones might be more comfortable for this quilt. I don't have enough of any one of them and would have to piece the
back.
I'm fine with piecing a back but haven't had been too happy with the ones I've done that way. I only have two leftover blocks from the front which I could incorporate into the back. Then too, I'm trying use up fabric instead of add more to what I have.
On the other hand, hand quilting through even more seams with a pieced back isn't
quite so much fun.
I've been doing some online shopping for (= looking at) fabric but haven't made a decision yet.
I'm linking this post to Really Random Thursday at Live a Colorful Life.
I hope you're enjoying your day.

What a wonderful quilt top!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteVery pretty quilt top. You may be able to find a wide back that will work. I like Fat Quarter Shop for their color accuracy. I've also bought wide backing from Connecting Threads. Hancock's of Paducah (store and online) carries Moda wide backings.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will look at the shops you suggest to see what I can find.
Deletevery pretty top!
