The fabric is about 42" wide but the quilt is about 43" wide, and the backing has to be 6" wider all around to be quilted on a longarm machine. Obviously it had to be pieced.
Since it's the backing, I could have just sewn two pieces together, right? Wrong. With such a wonderful pattern, I felt that would have been an insult.
Yup, this is MUCH better.

Good job!
I agree - good job! (isn't that just the coolest print?!? - there's another vintage typewriter fabric I saw on e-quilter / it keeps calling to me . . . )
I love that fabric! Fabulous job on that seam!
