The Christmas quilt is still on the design wall, but is not the only thing I’m working on. Saturday morning I thought I would piece some more backs. The quilt top shown above I completed in 2008. There were 12 blocks from a $1 BOM and I didn’t think they all went together so I split them into two quilts using 5 blocks each.
It had always been my intention to piece the backing using the left over fabric and the extra blocks. But I started digging in the boxes from mom and found a length of this VIP printed plaid. I think I’m going to use this for the backing of this quilt. It’s just wide enough (or the quilt is narrow enough) that one length will be plenty.
To see what others are working on hop over to Patchwork Times.
I am really starting to like VIP fabrics because they make great backings! I have several in my stash that are being saved for that purpose. That plaid is really cool.
