Yesterday I said I needed to put together a backing for this quilt. It’s a big quilt top – 100 x 100, so I either need 3 yards of wide backing or 9 yards of 45″ wide fabric and seam it twice.
In October 2007 I bought 10 yards of this yellow floral fabric, plus a couple of tone-on-tone coordinates (that I keep reaching for when looking for a peach or green fabric).
The fabric was on sale for not more than $4 a yard and I took the rest of the bolt thinking I would make a 4-patch Stacked Posies quilt — and apparently a dust ruffle, curtains, pillows and other accessories. This was pre-stash report days.
I really don’t want to make another 4-patch Stack Posies quilt (well, maybe one more from some Kansas Troubles fabric) — I’ve already made 3. The only issue is the Row Quilt (need to find a new name for this quilt as well) has absolutely no yellow in the top. The blue on the left of the picture is the border and binding fabric.
Now that I’ve written this post, I think I’ve talked myself into using this fabric. If anyone can think of a reason for me not to this fabric let me know.
