Less is more -

 

 

At least that's what I was thinking - 

 

Because the more I looked at the backing - 

 

That I had made for my Crumb - Blue Floral - 

 

The more I didn't like it - 

 

 

I had made it "around" the big block with the same fabrics as the top -

But it wasn't quite big enough - 

 

So - rather than add chunks to it to get it up to size - 

I decided to put it away to "un-sew" later -

And maybe use the big block for something else - 

 

Then I made another backing -

 

Using two panels of the "background" GREEN that I used on the front - 

And one panel of GOLD - 

 

The GOLD is the same print as the GREEN - 

 

So - even though it isn't the same fabric as the cornerstones on the front - 

 

It does "go" with the GREEN - and shouldn't look too weird - 

 

I chose a KHAKI colored thread -

 

That blends in nicely with all of the fabrics - 

 

Then I basted zippers to the backing - 

 

And loaded it - 

I still need to cut the batting to size - 

Load that and the top - 

Wind some bobbins -

 

And decide on what design I want to stitch - 

 

Before I can start quilting it - 

But I'm getting there - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
