Backing -

 
 
For the next two quilts is in the works - 
 
I decided to quilt two on the same backing again -  
 
Upstairs/Downstairs - Christmas Red
 
 
And - 
 
Upstairs/Downstairs - Christmas Green
 
 
These two quilts used the SAME jelly rolls - 
 
And I made the SAME strata sets - 
 
But I switched the RED MAIN diagonal for a GREEN one -
 
And reversed the order of the RED and GREEN strips - HERE

I like how different they look just by changing ONE element in the pattern -
 
Anyway - 
 
I chose a GREEN backing for both - 
Which my camera wants to make BLUE for some reason - 
 
And GREEN thread to match the backing - 
 
It will show a little on the front - 
But should blend in nicely on the back - 
 
 
I had to add a panel to make the backing long enough for both quilts - 

 
And I'll have to add a couple of panels to increase the width - 
 
Because I messed up when I placed my order -
 
And I came up short - 
 
Oh, well - it's not like I don't have a stash available - 
 
To solve the problem - LOL - ;))
 
 
 
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

  3. You are a brave woman. I think I would screw up loading such a long backing. Proud of all your progress!
