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 -

  1. One thing I have done is to make a pieced strip to join the other pieces. Because of that I have a few quilts that the back looks like a modern quilt design. Those extra pieces would work well for that.

  2. You've pulled some great fabrics for the backing. Hoping it will come together quickly for you.
