Mondays are usually "chore" days -
So I didn't get any sewing done -
But I did pull some "wide back" packs -
That I got on sale a while back -
To see what might be suitable for the next few quilts -
Upstairs/Downstairs - Meredith - 60" x 80" - 2020 -
Blended Branches - Christmas Green -
Batik Bento Boxes - Glowing Embers - 60" x 72" - 2020 -
Blended Branches - Mustard -
Upstairs/Downstairs - Hear Wave - 50" x 60" - 2020 -
Blended Branches - Mustard -
Karma Churn Dash - 50" x 60" - 2020 -
Blended Branches - Mustard -
Have the SAME "wide back" pack on the right -
And they look like three DIFFERENT colors -
I guess the first one is the closest to "true" -
It's more a Mustard - GOLD - than YELLOW or ORANGE -
So it looks good with all of those tops -
I'll see if I can fit U/D - Hear Wave and Karma Churn Dash -
On the same one - the backing is 108" x 108" -
So it might work -
I think I'll quilt the Karma Churn Dash first -
Then see if Hear Wave fits on the piece that's left over -
If not - I can always add a "spacer" strip to get it up to size -
I'm pretty sure I have some "extra" RED Blended Branches -
And Hear Wave has a lot of ORANGE - RED - and BROWN -
So the MUSTARD/GOLD and RED should both look good -
And I have another "Mustard" pack -
For the Batik Bento Boxes top - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Hear Wave caught me, I thought it was a typo - but then I found the post where you named it - and why. Ha ha.
Yes it is interesting how the camera will define a color based on the rest of the colors in the image.
You have a lot of choices to reckon with. That is a good problem to have.
Having enough backing for more than one quilt is always a good thing. Hopefully, it will be easy to transition from one to the next...although, I don't anything about how that works. LOL
A pretty good place to get backings and material is Marshall Dry Goods. They have their line of MDG 108" quilt backs for just $9.99 a yard. If you find a material that you really like you can go to their wholesale/bulk side and buy it by the bolt. I signed up for their newsletter and sometimes they have a sale. They also sell batting by the bolt. :) It is always nice to save a little money. Hugs, Kara
