Bright! Bright! Bright!

I always try to find the perfect backing for each of my quilts. I never use something cheap or left over. Here you can see the wild backing I have selected for the Bright Crayons, the fabric I am using as the hanging sleeve, and the equally bright fabric I am using for the binding.

I got all the binding sewn on this quilt last night too. It's easy when the hanging sleeve and binding are all made ahead of time. That isn't usually the case.

Love this quilt!!! Have you ever sewn the sleeve so it is not attached to the binding? I like this method because the quilt top hangs better but your way is much easier. I'll have to try your way and see if there is much of a difference.

I like to use weird and wonderful fabrics from my stash for backings, which are typically pieced because I don't have many pieces larger than a fat quarter in my stash. I think it's fun.
