After pulling a a dozen fabrics to audition for the borders, I ultimately went with my first choice that I picked when I first started working on the top. It’s a vintage Robert Kaufman print of musical instruments. It currently measures 73″ x 92″, so it will fit beautifully on a twin bed with a 15″ drop on 3 sides of the bed after quilting and washing.
I have a bin of backings and leftover backing pieces. Since this is a stash quilt, I thought I would have to piece a backing together, but I found this backing fabric which is 82″ x 108″ — the exact size I need – in the bin without a quilt name attached to it. Guess what I’m using.
This weekend is the Mississippi Quilt Association Summer Gathering – if I get home early enough, I’ll press the backing and get the quilt loaded so I can quilt it over the weekend.
You picked the right name for it. Good to use up what you have in the Stash. What pattern design will you Quilt on it?
