Backing -

 

 

I decided to try again - 

 

To find backing fabrics - 

 

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Pastel Brights - 

 

If I don't have a suitable "wide" back - 

 

And have to "piece" one - 

 

I like to use my "uglies" - 

 

Not REALLY "ugly" - 

 

Just the ones I wouldn't use on the front -

 

And I found the two on the bottom right without too much digging - 

 

I know there is no ORANGE on the front -

 

But the print matches the PINK one -

 

And I think they will work with the BRIGHT GREEN - 

 

They were both 2 yd cuts - but I used a bit of the "Marigold" already -

 

Then I was worried that I might not have enough for a large backing - 

 

So I sorted through some 1/4 yd cuts and Fat Quarters - for "extra" -

 

And found the ones on the left in the photo below - 

 

The large-scale PINK one on the left is just for FUN -

 

 

The backing search is always such a pain for me - 

 

I spend a lot of time on the front - 

 

And forget that I have to make the back at some point -

 

Tomorrow I'll see if I can work out a plan - 

And get them all sewn together - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
